The Cockleshell Heroes

Synopsis: At the height of the Second World War, a battalion of German ships are safely docked at the "unassailable" port of Bordeaux. Newly promoted Major Stringer (José Ferrer, also behind the camera as director) has a unique idea – send a team of commandos out in collapsible canoes, have them paddle seventy miles upriver in arduous conditions and blow up the German ships with limpet mines.

Also starring Trevor Howard and Christopher Lee, THE COCKLESHELL HEROES is the true story of one of the most daring raids in British military history, and Eureka Classics is proud to present the film in its worldwide debut on Blu-ray.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation
Uncompressed LPCM 2.0 audio
Optional English SDH subtitles
Brand New and Exclusive interview with film historian Sheldon Hall
STREET DATE: JULY 15.

Love Cockleshell heroes.
I love the bit where they drop the commandos off and they have to make their way back to camp.
Anthony Newley is good.
