A Surprisingly Good Movie

I paid $1.00 for the VHS version of this movie, only 95 minutes running time. I did not expect to like it mainly because George Peppard is the star. However, it turned out to be very enjoyable, the story has many plot twists and definitely held my interest. The acting is so-so, but not bad enough to ruin the excellent story. It reminded me of Where Eagles Dare in style and execution. In the end, George Peppard steals the show, even if he is too old for the part he is playing. Deborah Raffin is very good, but seems somewhat stiff with forced emotion. Michael York is probably the best of the bunch. Certainly worth your time if you get a chance to watch it. I understand there is a longer version and I would think it would be better than the shortened version I saw.
