Would not nearly be as watchable without McDowell relishing his role as [a] fanatical German officer

Rating: 7/10 --
A lurid, exciting World War II chase thriller with Malcolm McDowell chewing the scenery as a sadistic Nazi.

Rating: 2/4 --
Even an experienced scenery-chewer like Anthony Quinn is no match for Malcolm McDowell, whose smirking, bug-eyed performance singlehandedly places the picture in the realm of camp and foreshadows his even more insane work in the same year's Caligula.
