Renata Adler New York Times Smug dimestore Existential, Angry Arts careless put-on, megaphone ironies with repetition for slow learners and a share in the insatiable, self-righteous blood lust of the camera. Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Black P One of the best 1960's British war films, Made on a small budget, with a small cast but well scripted with superb acting. Three British paratroopers are lost behind enemy lines somewhere in Europe 1944 - they know each other so well and are so well trained that most of the time they know each other thoughts, and the thoughts that each other cannot read are shared with us, the audience. This film in trying to capture the feel of what it's like to be a soldier, a trained killer, who would normally be not - one of the thoughts of the main character (played by David Hemmings)) is - " I'm a pacifist really, but I have the skill, I like the skill" - considered an anti-war film I myself believe that any film that succeeds in trying to captures the realism and truth of war, no matter on what scale, if it succeeds, is an anti-film. Well worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review MisterBethany Excellent performances, and script and execution., Let down just a touch by the final moments but otherwise a remarkable film I have watched many times with no diminution in appreciation.
