OPERATION CROSSBOW

1965

BBC Two, 2pm ÌÌÌÌÌ

George Peppard, Sophia Loren, Trevor Howard, Tom Courtenay and John Mills star in this fact-based wartime thriller which was co-scripted by Emeric

Pressburger. Three Allied engineers parachute into occupied Holland on a mission to destroy a German missile base.

It’s directed by Michael Anderson (of The Dam Busters fame) with steely panache, and the clammy terror of the mission is well evoked.
