Richard Harris and Robert Mitchum star as Irishmen and the tale is set in the early years of WWII. It seems that the Germans want to encourage the IRA to renew hostilities against the British in Northern Ireland's six counties. Why? Well, then the Brits will be so busy trying to put down this rebellion that the Germans will have an easier time beating them in the war. Some quickly fall for the German agent's appeals...some are wondering if the cost just isn't worth it in this proverbial deal with the Devil!
The acting, as you expect, is quite good. The story, although interesting to me since I used to teach history, might not appeal to so many viewers...particularly if they are not Irish or British. It's definitely one of Mitchum and Harris' more obscure films but that doesn't mean it's bad at all. Well worth your time.
