Operation Chariot was one of the most extraordinary and influential commando operations of the war, and it's too bad that the movie turned out to be such a turkey. (Despite the resurgence of interest in WWII films in the last decade or so, it's probably too much to hope for a new film on this great event.) I wouldn't go out of my way to see it again.
