Secret Invasion, The (UA 1964, Stewart Granger, Raf Vallone)

Published

on


Roger Corman, working with the biggest budget he was ever given, directed this Dirty Dozen-like adventure about five convicts who are assigned a treacherous mission: to penetrate Nazi occupied Yugoslavia to rescue an Italian general who can rally troops against Hitler. However, even with their combined criminal smarts, they find the Nazis are a crafty bunch. Stewart Granger plays the hardened British officer who leads the group.

Multilingual Raf Vallone was able to speak his own lines in both English and Italian while other actors had to have their lines dubbed in.
