A non-dilemma

The Enemy General (1960)

Directed by George Sherman this film stars Van Johnson, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Dany Carrel and John can Dreelen. An American OSS agent working with the French underground is ordered organise the escape of the Nazi general turned traitor who had his fiancée executed.

While this film sets up a nice dilemma for the protagonist it is something he never struggles with which means the film falls completely flat. There is something to work with in the set up here but this film never is anything more than a action film of B-movie quality. Stock footage is used here and there to try and spice things up but this is a bit of a limp effort really.
