30 Dec Operation Crossbow
Operation Crossbow, WWII movie starring George Peppard
(1965) A British espionage team goes deep inside Germany to foil their rocket making efforts. Spies were everywhere.
Although this story is fiction, it is based on the actual “Crossbow” campaign, the Allies’ effort to foil the manufacture of German missiles … for example, the V-1 and V-2 rockets.
The film’s producer was Carlo Ponti, so of course he found a small role for Sophia and then gave her top billing.
One of George Peppard’s earlier movies.
