Terence Young – No Time to Die aka Tank Force! (1958)
Quote:
In Italian Libya during the North African campaign of the Second World War, a Royal Armoured Corps squadron of British tanks is destroyed in battle by German Afrika Korps panzers. A tank commanded by American Sgt. David Thatcher (Victor Mature) is hit and he and driver Trooper “Tiger” Noakes (Anthony Newley) bail out. The squadron’s attached reconnaissance vehicle, commanded by Sgt. Kendall (Leo Genn), becomes stuck in the sand and the crew bail out too. The three survivors are quickly captured and transported to an Italian POW camp run by German Army Captain Ritter (Alfred Burke).Unbeknownst to the Axis prison guards, Thatcher had previously tried to assassinate Joseph Goebbels in revenge for the killing of his Jewish wife and tries to escape at every turn before the Nazis discover his secret. The British commander Sgt. Kendall arranges an escape of Thatcher, Noakes, Bartlett (Sean Kelly), and a Polish prisoner (Bonar Colleano) in an ambulance before the Schutzstaffel can detain Thatcher, and the Pole kills the German mole Johnson (Kenneth Fortescue). They escape through the Libyan Desert in sandstorms, briefly taking shelter at the nightclub of Thatcher’s friend Carola (Luciana Paluzzi) in Italian-occupied Benghazi before she is accidentally shot by the Italian officer Alberto (Robert Rietti).
Over the course of the trip the Pole grows increasingly homicidal, indiscriminately killing two German officers the group captures. After Kendall vows to court-martial the Pole when they return home, he allows a Bedouin tribe led by a sheikh (Maxwell Shaw) loyal to the SS to kill Bartlett and capture the surviving men. When the SS tries to torture Thatcher into confessing, Captain Ritter becomes so disgusted that he helps the men escape and then commits suicide. Kendall takes the sheikh and the SS colonel (Martin Boddey) hostage, but he Pole initiates a shootout that leaves him wounded and the sheikh and the colonel dead. They steal a truck, which is met by a rival group of Bedouins which warn them of a nearby German panzer division. They capture a tank, but Kendall and the Pole are killed while their tank is disabled. However, a British tank battalion arrives to save them. The German panzers are defeated, and Thatcher and Noakes bury Kendall.
