If you don't mind battle scenes where American-made Patton tanks are pretending to be German Tiger tanks battling American M24 light tanks pretending to be Sherman tanks, all on some barren countryside in Spain that is supposedly the hilly and forested Ardennes region of Belgium/Luxembourg.
However, to be kind to the filmmakers I imagine hordes of operational Tigers were hard to find in the 1960s. Telly Savalas is enjoyable to watch. So is Robert Shaw's steely imitation of SS Panzer Commander Joachim Pieper. Except the script writers changed his name to the more Teutonic-sounding Martin Hessler.
