Go Commando! (3 Viewers)

'Attack on the Iron coast' was a Commando raid film starring Lloyd Bridges in 1968,although its hard to take him seriously since Airplane!.;).Another from 1943 is 'The Commandos strike at dawn' about a Brit Commando raid on a German airfield in Norway.

A little known but excellent film is 'Two men went to War',not a Commando film but a very enjoyable tale of two men who own their own initiative cross the Channel to attack a German Radar station.

'ill met by moonlight' with Dirk Bogarde,was that Commandos?.Could be resistance instead.

Haven't seen any of those - will have to look them up.
Commandos strike at dawn sounds good fun but doesn't seem to be available on DVD.

Yeah its quite an old one so it probably isn't,its the type of fim thats on TCM now and again.Attack on the Iron coast is on quite often,it also stars Robert Shaw of Jaws fame.Its based on St Nazaire if memory serves.

Andy hasn't mentioned us in his bits and bobs or odds and sods. :(
Palm trees and flags and grey AV's but no jolly green men in headwarmers with a knife between their teeth and a grenade in their hand.
Oh well perhaps we must redouble our efforts. :)

Congrats Major Eazy,well earned promotion!:)

Maybe we could negotiate with Lord Tony Neville,if he gives us each a Cromwell and MkIII we will call off the raid.We are nothing if not fair deadly assassins!:)

You bet mate, we got all the D Day releases and this range is going to be exactly the same I reckon, there is not a bad pose among them and throw in the bunker for the perfect range. :salute::
