During World War II, a commando leader named Major Jamie Wilson leads a group of soldiers on a suicide mission to destroy a Nazi naval stronghold on the French coast.
During WW2, Canadian Major Jamie Wilson suggests a commando raid against a German-occupied French port where a large dry-dock is used by the enemy to re-fit battleships. The well-defended French coast has been dubbed the Iron Coast by the Germans. The British command is reluctant to give the green-light to this operation, code-named Operation Mad Dog, mainly because of the high chance of failure. The Canadian officer is known to have botched a few previous operations under his command. The main opponent of the Mad Dog operation is a Royal Navy captain whose son died during a failed commando raid led by Major Jamie Wilson. However, after much debate and haggling, the operation is approved by the R.N. Admiral in charge. The training of the commandos is harsh, under real battle conditions featuring live explosions and machine-gun fire. During the training, several accidents occur, resulting in a few deaths and wounds. The operation's future hangs into balance but it finally receives the go-ahead. Major Jamie Wilson is dismayed when he discovers that due to war-time shortages he will receive sub-standard equipment and an old mine-layer rather than a destroyer for transport to France. The plan itself calls for a ship laden with explosives to be rammed into the Nazi dry-dock. The explosives would be triggered by a timer, allowing the commandos on board to land and attack the shore installations, batteries and command posts. At the same time, a few small launches would land additional commandos along the neighboring piers to create a diversionary attack. The operation is in danger of failure when the task force is spotted off the French coast by a German observation plane that promptly contacts the German shore command. Moreover, the commando group receives an order from the Admiralty to abort the mission due to RAF's inability to offer bombing support for the operation. To make matters worse, the alerted Germans sense something is afoot and watch the sea with added vigilance. Regardless, Major Jamie Wilson is a stubborn man who wants to prove to himself and to his superiors that he is a capable soldier. Disregarding several requests from the Admiralty to abort the mission, he presses on into the night, toward the deadly Iron Coast.
If it wasn't for Lloyd Bridges being in this, I doubt that I would have had any interest in seeing this, just another rushed out action film made on the cheap in the 60's, documenting one of hundreds of thousands of missions during World War II. Bridges is the only familiar name in this, seen in the opening vowing to make up for a mission he just failed on. He is at conflict with several other allied officers, especially Andrew Keir who blames him for the death of his son, conflicting with him over every decision made aboard ship. Bridges is seemingly acting defensive over the failed mission, and seems all too eager to clear his name by becoming commander of a very important upcoming mission. Drilling scenes are interpolated with his home life, which leads to his grade school aged son asking the above question.
Every veteran working actor in the 1960's seemed to be asked to star in these assembly line war dramas, and while some became classics, a good majority of them are instantly forgotten. This one is amongst the later, overly scored in domestic scenes and focused on personal conflicts in the preparation of the mission (attacking German troops on the French coast) rather than coming together to defeat the enemy. It slows down horribly with these scenes, and it makes it hard to root for characters who are fighting on the same side but are carrying on their own private war. This seems to have been rushed out as part of a quota agenda without regards to anything that might make it stand out like "The Dirty Dozen". I will give credit to where it is due, however, and say that the ending is incredibly action packed and filled with tension, making it worth the ride to get all the way through.
ATTACK ON THE IRON COAST is a typical UK/USA collaboration detailing a brave Allied attack on German forces during WW2. This one has all of the planning of THE DAM BUSTERS and a similarly-themed raid in which a group of dedicated soldiers risk their lives in attempting to destroy a strategically-important German position in occupied France. There's a whiff of THE COCKLESHELL HEROES about it to in the way the action is sea-based.
Stories such as this may not be true but they're certainly based on real raids which did occur and thus they're easy viewing. ATTACK ON THE IRON COAST is suspenseful and well-acted by a decent cast, all of whom give a ring of authenticity to their characters. Lloyd Bridges is a typically hard-assed character, a Canadian major brought in to lead the British attack. Andrew Keir is well cast against him as the gruff and antagonistic ship's captain.
There isn't a great deal of action in this picture although the usual training sequences and the like play out. The special effects are limited to rather poor miniature models of the ships but they don't spoil the effect. However, there is some suspense, and it does build to an action-packed climax which has all of the explosive incident, drama, and pathos that you could hope for.
