Awesome film, unforgettable performances!
I recommend this film without reservations. I believe it has all the qualifications to be considered a timeless war classic. The script based on a real story will grab you from the beginning and you will get the impression of being there in Amsterdam as the Nazi army approaches. The director did a wonderful job in conveying the feeling of doom that engulfed that city. The performances are all notable, even from bit players, but I take my hat off to Miss Eva Bartok for a most sensitive portrayal which haunts you way after the film ended.
Go for it!

Superior Unrecognized Historical Thriller
This excellent British historical account of snatching Dutch industrial diamonds out of invading Nazi hands in May 1940 is
based on "Adventure in Diamonds", and I think much better than the book. The decisions and fears of the Dutch and Jewish diamond merchants of Amsterdam are excellently and incisively portrayed,as are the British SAS Major Dillon and his Dutch "assistants",and the "Fifth Columnist" Nazi sympathizers
in the Dutch Army.Eva Bartok is outstanding in her portait of a
Dutch woman helping the small team racing the clock and the Germans to gewt these diamonds, needed for tank, weaponry, and
ammunition production, off to Britain. The black and white film, and the photography, emphasize the mood well, as do the actual
scenery in Ymuiden and Amsterdam. Learn some exciting true history !
