Not Bond

Tank Force (1958)

Directed by Terence Young this film also known as “No Time to Die” stars Victor Mature, Leo Genn, Bonar Colleano and Anthony Newley. In North Africa a diverse group of POWs including an American volunteer, a Pole, two Brits and an Australian escape from captivity.

About the most interesting thing about this film is that it involves so many of the behind the scenes people as the early James Bond films but this film is no where near that standard. The plot is fairly simplistic at best and while it delivers on the required action sequences there is not much more to it. I have never been a fan of Victor Mature and there are no surprises with his acting here but he does not ruin the film either.


3/5
