Tonight's film in a season of outstanding feature films of the last ten years stars
Dirk Bogarde, Alfred Lynch

The wartime adventures of a British Sergeant-Major who waged a continuous one-man battle against the Germans.
Dirk Bogarde plays the inappropriately named Sergeant-Major Coward, the only English soldier to receive the Iron Cross, in this exciting Andrew and Virginia Stone production.
It was the first British venture of this American husband-and-wife team, whose other credits include The Decks Ran Red and The Last Voyage. As usual it is full of beautifully staged action sequences - a prison camp fire, an ammunition train being blown up, and the derailment of a train.
