The studio sets at Elstree don't convince for a moment, but this soon ceases to matter as you get drawn into the drama; it certainly made me very relieved indeed that I've never had to take part in jungle warfare.
Few actors divide opinion more than Laurence Harvey, and the fact that he took over a part created on the West End stage by Peter O'Toole hasn't helped estimations of this film. But I personally have always found Harvey compulsive viewing, and the fact that he was apparently a pain to work with on the set simply heightens the tension.
