The Heroes of Telemark is director Anthony Mann's intelligent and very exciting 1965 WWII adventure that tells the true story of a daring Allied commando raid on a German heavy water plant in Norway. The destruction of the plant thwarted Hitler's goal of developing an atomic weapon. The film starred Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris. Little known fact: the movie's working title was The Unknown Battle but was changed some months before the general release. While you're at it, feast your eyes on the glorious original movie poster. They don't make 'em like that any more. The film has finally been released in America on DVD. Click here to order from Amazon.
