This could have been interesting, because it takes the perspective of the Italian troops charged by Mussolini with the capture of Alexandria in the 1942 North African campaign. It has a stab at drafting in an internationally recognised cast - Michael Rennie is Field Marshal Montgomery, and Robert Hossein features sparingly as Rommel, but for the most part this consists of a mediocre cast that I found made it quite difficult to distinguish between… read the rest.
