1944: an unnamed Greek island controlled by the Germans under the leadership of Commandant Hecht. A group of islanders and a group of allied prisoners are being held captive in an apparently secure POW camp. But with the help of the Greek resistance and two American entertainers the allies are determined to escape.... Filmed in magnificent locations this tongue-in-cheek film boasts an all-star cast and an explosive climax.

About this data

While most of the data in the BBC’s Programme Index is drawn from Radio Times and BBC programmes pages, a minority of listings have been compiled using the BBC’s own historical documents and early BBC listings printed in contemporary newspapers.
