I got this as part of sale haul from the BFI website and I'm thoroughly impressed with it. Just a superior little chase film about a British aristocrat who tries to assassinate Hitler before the war and incurs the wrath of both the Germans and his own government. Made for TV and presented in 3:4, it's a fairly low-budget little film, but Peter O'Toole is charm personified and the specifics of his outdoorsmanship are fun to watch. Reading the IMDdb reviews and people were complaining about the condition of the print, but the Blu-ray I own is very pleasingly grainy and looks perfectly good.
