The action takes place around the Yugoslav-Italian
border.
A commando operation wipes out the German fuel
supply at Capodistria, another group landing at Pisano
is surprised. The survivors join forces with the underground to liberate a British
courier at Socerb.
A double agent is coveted by a dyke in the Kriegsmarine, the
Admiral extends professional courtesy.
Plans for “the Allied invasion of the Balkans”
are at stake.
Beautifully filmed on location, especially among
the salt fields fed by the sea that figure prominently.
The Tartini monument and a Tintoretto appropriated
by the Admiral are notable.
A very little-known film.
