Operation Crossbow

(1965)Directed by Michael Anderson115 min · PG-13Drama, War, Thriller
“Sabotage of Hitler's ingenious weapons of mass destruction...the V1 and V2 rockets!”

The rocket complex at Peenemunde is building the V-1 and V-2 while British Intelligence works out what the Germans are making. Lieutenant John Curtis (George Peppard) is sent in as an agent, and Nora Van Ostamgen (Sophia Loren) is among those drawn into the mission. Michael Anderson cuts between the German scientists and the London officials, and the film leaves Curtis and Nora to find out how much they can trust each other.
