GREG,
Yes! I have seen it 2 weeks ago at the Italian TV. It was in color and
Michael Caine as a British officer, was in charge of destroying a gasoline
deposit near Tobruk, Libia, in WWII, going through the desert behind Axis
lines.
Here in Italy all movies are dubbed in Italian, i.e. Michael Caine did
speak Italian in the movie!!
No! I do not know title in English. However, I am at work at the
moment. Back at home I shall check a book I have. It is an American war
movies book (transleted in Italian). If it is in this book, tomorrow I
shall let you know the title!
I am a fan of cinema and I have all the WWII movies in video. Lee Marvin
"Dirty Dozen", W. Holden "Devil's Brigade", C. Eastwood "The Warriors",
"The Longest Day" (pity it was shot in b/w), "Bridge on the River Kay", J.
Wayne "Iwo Jima", "Saving Private Ryan" just to name a few. Well, also
western movies (read: John Wayne, I have all his movies...).
Regards,
Raimondo
