Review of Operation Crossbow (1965) by Will R — 23 May 2009

I'd say this is heavily underrated. It's got some deliciously melodramatic moments but for the most part it maintains its mission: to deliver a spy thriller/WWII action film. Quayle makes an excellent although underwritten S.

S. security officer and Peppard is the Jerry Lewis-esque American spy who runs the show. If you know anything about the V-2 or V-1 rocket programs, you'll enjoy it just for that. The only flaw is a lot of these guys are underwritten, which takes away from the film at moments but with other characters written beautifully (Bradley and the British muckymucks) it keeps you entertained and watching.
