Music is scored by Ron Goodwin and cinematography is by Arthur Ibbetson. A small group of allied agents are sent on a mission to rescue a Allied General from a Nazi castle stronghold. But there…

    When an American general's plane is forced down over Nazi Germany, it falls to "Smith" (Richard Burton) to lead a crack team into the depths of the Wehrmacht to get him out before a dose of scopalamine elicits the truth about the plans for an allied invasion of Europe. No sooner do they land, though, when things start to go wrong. With one of their number not even surviving the parachute drop into the snowy forest, "…
