Watch Night of the Fox For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

A Masterpiece!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I sat, tortured, through a movie with forced acting and historical inaccuracies that became laughable. A trip from England to France in a Cessna 182? Automobiles in use produced after WW2. The beginning scenes (with the practice amphibious landings being attacked) looked like kids playing "army" in the back yard. I think (when they were hit)somebody threw a bucket of water over the side of the "landing craft".(Some)tanks used that were neither English nor American. In the end,York's character is shot under Mill's character's instructions, but this isn't even explained! Mills is passable, but weak. Peppard looked like he was trying to get his scenes over to go eat a cheeseburger. This stunk, sorry. Save your time and watch "The Eagle has Landed" for something believable.

I paid $1.00 for the VHS version of this movie, only 95 minutes running time. I did not expect to like it mainly because George Peppard is the star. However, it turned out to be very enjoyable, the story has many plot twists and definitely held my interest. The acting is so-so, but not bad enough to ruin the excellent story. It reminded me of Where Eagles Dare in style and execution. In the end, George Peppard steals the show, even if he is too old for the part he is playing. Deborah Raffin is very good, but seems somewhat stiff with forced emotion. Michael York is probably the best of the bunch. Certainly worth your time if you get a chance to watch it. I understand there is a longer version and I would think it would be better than the shortened version I saw.

A most remarkable film. Made for TV and even though it is no longer available to buy, you can find it at your video store to rent. Here we have one of Peppards' finest performances. He may not have been the best actor of his day, but this role is perfect for Peppard. I have watched this film every few months since finding it a few years ago. Each viewing is as enjoyable as the first. Michael York puts in an average performance as Rommel, and Debra Raffin does okay. Peppard however carries the day. He plays an American Colonel working for the British OSE. (Operations Special Executive) I imagine this was the forerunner or wartime version of MI6 where James Bond works. Most of the film is set on the Channel Islands, occupied by the Germans for most of WW2. Our hero must extract or kill an American washed up there, who knows all the details of the D-Day landings, before the Germans interigate him. The movie doesn't even seem like three hours at all. The time goes fast and I can hardly wait to watch it again. Do yourself a favour and watch this most entertaining war drama.

This was a film that really keeps a person on the edge of his seat. It followed the novel by Jack Higgins completely. Again, I am probably a little prejudicial as I am a big George Peppard film, I thought this was one of his best perfomances.
