In World War II, a failed British Officer is selected by his uncle, a Brigadier with the War Office, to participate in a secret operation to "recover" looted artworks from the Nazis.
Starts off well, but turns sort of serious and gets bogged down in the second half. All of the British character actors are here. Top-billed Richard Attenborough is not the leading man. That task falls to Ian Carmichael.
