Palance is Col. Charley McPherson whom we are introduced to at the beginning of the film as he chews out his superior for sending him on a suicide mission that killed all 28 of his men.
His new assignment is to wipe out a German tank gun and this time he take a squad of criminals and an American bomb expert. There is a lot of tension between the men and McPherson as they slowly make thier way into enemy lines.
A German called Col. Ackerman (Wolfgang Preiss) knows McPherson very well as the two have met before and he is always hounding Charley makes his mission just that much more dangerous.
This soon turns into a very interesting cat and mouse game that leads to the ultimate battle for the huge gun. I like this movie. It has a lot ging for it.
It was directed by Umberto Lenzi and co-written by Dario Argento which is always a plus. Also I worked with Jack Palance on several films, but never knew about this one. Lastly, but not least is Diana Lorys who when we first see her character of Janine she is wearing a very sexy black negligee! I've said it many times before....this woman is one of the sexiest ever.
If you're a fan of WW2 films I know you'd like this well made effort. The rest of the cast includes Thomas Hunter, Guido Lollobrigida, Curd Jergens and Mirko Ellis.
