Weakly cast and excessively long, this fitfully exciting Second World War melodrama stars Michael Rennie and David Knight as two Polish patriots who discover the latest Nazi secret weapon - the flying missiles or "doodlebugs" that were eventually unleashed on London. Highlights are a bombing raid on a German research establishment and the appropriation of one of the robot bombs, but the low-budget production awkwardly mixes documentary footage from old enemy newsreels with standard underground heroics that were filmed in the Sussex countryside. Christopher Lee is briefly seen as a sadistic SS officer.
Plot Summary
