The plot is about the fictional demolition of two guns threatening a British evacuation from a Greek island.
The cast includes Gregory Peck and David Niven as well as Anthony Quinn as a Greek colonel, and Anthony Quayle as a British officer.
It's quite well done but somewhat cartoonish. I really doubt a mission like this would spend a lot of time carrying a wounded man on a stretcher, or be run by people who make speeches about the futility of war like the David Niven character.
