I saw this film in the theater when it came out and then later at home. It's been quite some time since I viewed it, so I rented it from Amazon Prime on impulse. It's still an excellent war film and does a good job of conveying the essentials of the book and the actual operation. Of course, the Germans are portrayed as relatively "good" enemies and the truth was somewhat different and, given the time period in which this was made, a lot of things (shooting prisoners, etc.) were whitewashed. However, the use of actual combat vehicles and aircraft (especially the C-47's) from the period give it a verisimilitude that could probably not be done today, given that most of the ones that are still left are museum pieces that would never be loaned out for a film. I highly recommend it.
