HMS Ulysses ; Force Ten from Navarone ; When eight bells toll

the long version

HMS Ulysses: Dramatizes the week-long disintegration of a British light cruiser and its overworked crew on a mission to Murmansk in Arctic Russia during World War II. Force Ten from Navarone: The heroic survivors of Navarone are ready for action again. Their mission: to free an entire Partisan army trapped in the rugged mountains of Yugoslavia, where Germans and Partisans are fighting against each other in a terrible winter war. Mallory and his group are tasked to blow up an important bridge and rescue the Yugoslavian division. It begins with a parachute drop behind enemy lines and a deliberate walk into a German camp. Six men against the might of two armored divisions. They couldn't fight them. So they had to join them. And then somehow destroy them! It was an assignment that made Navarone look like a local scout jamboree.
