Battle of the Commandos on Blu-ray

The Godfathers of Italian cult cinema director Umberto Lenzi (Nightmare Beach) and co-writer Dario Argento (Suspiria) bring you this blazing WWII actioner about the bold men who challenged the Devil and won! Grizzled Jack Palance (Shane) puts on a roguish brogue as Scottish Colonel Charley MacPherson, who's just had his platoon of 28 massacred by the Germans. Furious at his superiors for this suicide mission, he assembles a dirty half-dozen convicts for his next one, along with American explosives expert Major Burke (Thomas Hunter, The Hills Run Red), to clear a path for British commandos through a minefield off the Normandy coast on the night of June 4th, 1944. Aka Legion of the Damned, this rip-roaring classic of the Macaroni War genre co-stars Aldo Sambrell (Navajo Joe) with The Longest Day baddies Curd Jurgens (The Spy Who Loved Me) and Wolfgang Preiss (The Train).
