The Heroes of Telemark (1965)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Anthony Mann
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Sony Movie Channel)

Harris and Douglas lack chemistry as Norwegian resistance fighters attempting to stop the Nazis from obtaining a critical ingredient for a nuclear bomb. First they lead a small group on a nighttime mission to sabotage a hydroelectric plant. They succeed but the Nazis are one step ahead and have it up and running again. A second sabotage mission is carried out against a Norwegian ferry full of innocent bystanders. Spectacularly shot in cold, snowy and remote Norwegian locations.
