Tobruk (1967)
Very loosely based on real events this WW2 film stars Rock Hudson and George Peppard. A Group of British commandos and German speaking Jews from Palestine attempt to blow up German oil supplies at Tobruk.
The plot of this film is not that different from a whole host of North Africa based films that involve blowing up Rommel's fuel stores and in general there is not much to set this film apart from the genre as a whole. About the best thing the film has going for it is that it does not claim to be based on a true story given how far it departs from real events and the execution of the film is at least of a decent standard.
3/5
