Collection of four WWII films. In 'Operation Amsterdam' (1959), a
team of British experts are sent into Holland to secure valuable
diamonds. It is May 1940 and the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands
has begun. British Army Major Dillon (Tony Britton) heads into
Holland with diamond experts Walter (Alexander Knox) and Jan (Peter
Finch) on a mission to gather diamonds from Amsterdam dealers.
Finding help from the suicidal Anna (Eva Bartok) along the way, the
three must battle against time, mistrustful Dutch natives and the
threat of German spies to secure their precious cargo. 'Theirs is
the Glory' (1946), is a fictional recreation of the Battle of
Arnhem featuring performances from soldiers who fought in the
actual battle. The Battle occurred in September 1944, when British
and American forces led by Field Marshall Montgomery attempted to
cross the Rhine and establish a presence in Holland. The ensuing
fighting was frantic and chaotic and gave rise to the popular movie
'A Bridge Too Far'. This earlier effort, filmed little more than a
year after the battle itself and featuring men such as Stanley
Maxted and Thomas Scullion who actually participated in the
conflict, provides a dramatic and hard-hitting insight into the
experience of war. In 'Conspiracy of Hearts' (1960), a convent of
nuns are seeking to rescue Jewish children from an interment camp
in WWII Italy. The nuns and their priest, Father Desmaines (Michael
Goodliffe), see it as their Christian duty to do what they can to
save the children from the horror of the camp. Thanks to the
generosity of the facility's commanding officer, Major Vittorio
Spoletti (Ronald Lewis), who turns a blind eye, the enterprise
hasn't been too dangerous so far. However, when the Germans, led by
Colonel Erich Horsten (Albert Lieven), begin taking a greater
interest, both Spoletti and the nuns find themselves in grave
danger. In 'Seven Thunders' (1957), Dave (Stephen Boyd) and Jim
(Tony Wright) are British soldiers who escape from an Italian POW
camp. They are smuggled into Marseilles, where Dave falls in love
with orphan waif Lisa. The men then meet Dr Martout (James
Robertson Justice), who is to organise their escape from France.
However, Dave and Jim object to Martout's vicious methods, and find
themselves forced to outwit both him and the Nazis.
