Hi Mike & Hanno

Mike I was wondering if the movie had made its way out to distribution, is it titled "TOBRUK" or is there more to the title so I can look for it?

Thanks Hanno for the search the link in that thread that I enjoyed was http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/specialy.../slideshow.php .

Searching MLU is almost an art form because of the size as well of the wealth of information that has been brought to it by so many people.

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil

Here's the movie on the German amazon website. Haven't found in the US shop though. Languages are German and Czech only!

However, there are sites in the internet where you'll find those things for downloading...

Greetings

That's allright Mike.

Best thing of frazzled brain cells is that you can make new friends every day

Hi All

There were a number of films made with the name TOBRUK, including the movie starring Rock Hudson, George Peppard. Guy Stockwell and Nigel Green. This was a good movie where a convoy of British and German Jewish commandos, in German Afrika Korp uniforms cross 800 Miles of Libyan Desert to blow up a Nazi fortress at Tobruk. Rock Hudson plays the part of a Canadian officer rescued from a prison ship to go along on the raid. The movie is supposed to be based on a real life Little-known incident. There was another similar movie starring Richard Burton, in this movie there were some exact battles scenes used. The Rock Hudson version was a better movie. If you get a chance to see the movie do so it is worth it. There was another movie "Play Dirty" with Michael Cain also worth watching if you are interested in LRDG type movies.

Cheers

Tony
