Play Dirty
Forget the medals, throw away the rule book, if you want to survive… Play Dirty
Directed by André de Toth
Produced by Lowndes Productions Limited, United Artists
A morally scathing war film that strips away military heroism to examine the callous pragmatism and psychological toll of survival behind enemy lines.
During World War II in North Africa, a group of British commandos disguised as Italian soldiers must travel behind enemy lines and destroy a vital Nazi oil depot.
