Review of Battle of the V-1

This film must be the first from British studios to use the discovery of the V1 as its main theme.Not till the sixties would the topic be dealt with by a major studio.This film deals with the essentially true story about the way that the Polish partisans by obtaining parts of the rocket so that the details of the rocket were known well in advance of their onslaught on June 13 1944.It is unfortunate that the leading role was played by Michael Rennie,never the most expressive of actors.However there is an interesting supporting cast including Christopher Lee and Edmond Knight.The film is very entertaining but currently being shown in that ghastly flourishing process.
