Part 1 of 2 of the WW2 film featuring Susan Stephen. Steve MacKendrick, an apparent Canadian, volunteers to join the British parachute regiment in 1940 during World War Two. His army bosses see potential in him, while he also catches the eye of one of the parachute riggers, Penny Gardner, despite his tough and loner nature. But as the men prepare to go out and fight in North Africa, there seems to be a secret in the background of MacKendrick that he is eager to keep hidden...
Starring Alan Ladd, Susan Stephen, Leo Genn, Donald Houston, Harry Andrews, Stanley Baker, Lana Morris, Anthony Bushell, Patric Doonan, Anton Diffring, Tim Turner, Michael Kelly, Carl Duering and Harry Locke. This was an Anglo-British and American combination made at the same time that Alan Ladd did the western Shane. It was apparently founded on a true story, though the film itself is fictional. As well as a surprisingly morose performance by Ladd, it has an unusual American accent by Susan Stephen, while poor Stanley Baker was actually dubbed! Did they not like his Welsh accent?
