Staring: Peter O'Toole
A torpedoed British merchantman in Venezuala devotes himself to bombing a U-boat from a home-made plane.
A boys own war adventure. O'Toole is his usual madcap self although it works in this movie. Sian Phillips counterbalances him in an underused straight role. The movie manages to hit a correct balance of humour, tension & action. If nothing else, I learnt just how big a torpedo is. Great fun! 8/10
