Rating: 3/4 --
Although it doesn't rank in the upper echelons of WWII-set "men on a mission" movies (see: The Guns of Navarone, The Dirty Dozen, Where Eagles Dare), Operation Crossbow gets the gritty job done.

Film Frenzy
The entire affair ends in a rousing burst of heroics gunfire and explosions. If the conclusion is inevitable it is none the less exciting.

WWII tale of Nazi rocket plans has its moments; including Sophia Loren doesn't hurt.

Product Description:
Based on actual historical events and characters, this World War II spy thriller focuses on the development of Hitler's secret rocket weapons, the V.1 and V.2 flying bombs, and the Allied efforts to destroy them.
Description by Warner Home Video:
Operation Crossbow
A fearsome rumor reaches Britain's World War II command. The Nazis are developing rocket technology that could rain death on London and, then, New York. Quickly, England develops a plan to send saboteurs into the sites manufacturing the rockets. Just moments after the carefully chosen commandos parachute into the drop zone, their pilot receives an urgent message. The mission may be compromised. Abort.
Operation Crossbow is the partly fact-based tale of how that team succeeded against daunting odds. Michael Anderson (The Dam Busters, Logan's Run) directs, guiding a huge cast in a film that builds to a spectacular finale, yet never neglects war's unsparing personal costs. As a record of a wartime espionage incursion and as an intrigue-filled thriller, Operation Crossbow is on both counts Operation Accomplished.
