"LA BATTAGLIA D'INGHILTERRA", directed by Enzo Girolami Castellari. A 1969 joint Italian-French-Spanish production. Starring Luigi Pistilli, Francisco Rabal, Frederick Stafford, Evelyn Stewart, Van Johnson and Renzo Palmer.
A low budget production about a German saboteur team infiltrated in the UK to blow up radars and fighter control centres. In addition to some models, extensive use was made of outtakes from the (real) BATTLE OF BRITAIN film, edited and repeated over and over.
A very poor effort , rated perhaps 3 on a scale of 10.
But what really amuses me is how TJ managed to see it in Norway. I thought (hoped) it never went beyond our borders.
