Comment/Synopsis

During World War 2, the crew of a British bomber have to bail out over occupied Holland. They are helped to escape back to England by the local Dutch resistance. This is more about the characters of the Dutch civillian resistance than the airmen. Notable as the first film with a thin Peter Ustinov. This is one of a several films made during World War 2 by Powell and Pressburger.
