If you appreciate the acting of Walter Matthau and do not require car chases, explosions and "special effects", this should prove enjoyable. Good period piece of WW II years and well acted by supporting characters. Suspence and human interest to keep your interest but not to continuely keep you on the edge of your seat A good "B" to "B+"
