Some weeks back a listmember asked about movies featuring paddling scenes & I responded with a WW II epic starring Mel Gibson and Sam Neill. I looked it up and here's the rest: "Attack Force Z" (1981, Austrailian-Taiwanese) Color-84 m. Dir: Tim Burstall; John Phillip Law, Sam Neill, Mel Gibson, Chris Hayward, John Waters; Taut little war drama; commandoes set out to rescue survivors of a plane crash on a Japanese-held island during WW II. ~ this from Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide He didn't have kind things to say about: "Cockleshell Heroes" (1956, British) Dir: Jose Ferrer Jose Ferrer, Trevor Howard, Anthony Newley ; Saga of commandoes training...excitement never gells. They are both listed as being available on videotape.
