The Rangers

A WW#2 movie set in a German POW camp but shot in Italy.

What the archival footage of fighters attacking Lancasters and Kamikaze planes dive bombing battleships has to do with the plot I'm uncertain. The acting is plodding, amateurish. The costumes of the officers look fresh from the dry cleaners, never worn. The scene around the table with the generals looks like a rehearsal read through. Call it an OK time-waster.

The explosion, when it comes is rather unspectacular.
