A film best kept secret

The Secret Invasion (1964)

Directed by Roger Corman this film stars Stewart Granger, Raf Vallone and Mickey Rooney. A British Major leads a group of criminals on a secret mission in Yugoslavia during WW2.

This film is pretty much what you would expect from a low budget B-movie and about the only surprise is that it was made before a few of the better films the plot appears to rip off. The problems start early on with a script that lacks any real characterisation and is at best ham fisted. Some of the acting is best not commented on and about the only element of note is that Dubrovnik provides an impressive back drop for this lackluster film.
