Peter Ustinov hits the bullseye. Trevor Howard abandons ship. And these were the bit parts, what a cast.

as i'm not too familiar with the actors of this period except for slightly with david niven i feel i can't comment on them too much. i noticed the chap who plays the undertaker in dads army was in it. the film itself was a bit of a character study of each of the D.O.G.S. and about the build up to them seeing some action. well thought out and well executed. also much better than one of the later carol reed films "our man in havana" which i've seen

From a thorough, thoughtful and lively script by Eric Ambler and Peter Ustinov, this is an outstanding piece of film-making from the viewpoint of production, direction, camera-work and acting.

Carol Reed directed this 1944 war film from a script by Eric Ambler and Peter Ustinov.

Private U 27 Oct 2007

Carol Reed's World War II drama follows a bunch of raw recruits in the British Light Infantry, from very different walks of life, their trials through basic training and their subsequent baptisms of fire in the desert war in North Africa. Featuring a who's-who of British acting talent at the time - David Niven, Stanley Holloway, William Hartnell, Peter Ustinov etc - what this film lacks in action it makes up for in the interplay between the characters and the sense of time and place.
