I had never heard of this movie until very recently, and I managed to catch it on YouTube. Also known under the title of "Ill Met by Moonlight," this is a fun adventure done with a nice touch of humor while never losing sight of the objective. The movie has a wonderful sense of realism in the characters, the setting, and the adventure itself. As the plan to capture and kidnap the German general unfolds, one gets a view of the on location setting in Crete and the personalities of the characters begin to evolve. There's a lightness to the whole thing, which I found to be quite attractive, and the lead actors do a fine job in carrying out the plot. It was a thoroughly enjoyable movie for me.
