I usually have a soft spot for these old WWII based films. After watching this one I think I'll be more selective on the next ones I wanna watch.
As far as a plot point goes it's not too bad. Decent idea hatched but the execution was...well...just not too good. Trying to figure out who's the traitor is pretty easy. When the scene comes up where "The Scarf's" mother gets her head shaved for bein with a German, after that its all downhill from there. The acting wasn't bad at all but the script needed a serious re-working.
I think even worse is some of the audio dubbing. It's laughable in some scenes. I can think of 1 scene where 2 characters are outside and the soundtrack they speak is clearly in a studio environment. It's just too funny.
If you have to watch any and everything Clark Gable ever did then watch this, if not, skip this one and don't think twice about it.
