Cockleshell Heroes, the 1955 (released in the U.S. in 1956) Jose Ferrer English World War II (WWII) military kayak-commando soldier action thriller ("They called them 'canoe commandos'!": "The incredible true story of the 'canoe commandos'!"; "The never-before-told story of the top-secret guys!"; "The memorable Reader's Digest story that amazed millions!"; "The true and tremendous Reader's Digest story that thrilled millions!"; "Executive Producers Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli"; "Ten brave men started out on the most 'impossible' mission of World War II..."; note that Broccoli went on to produce the James Bond series of movies, which Irving Allen did not want to produce, because he did not think that they were even good enough for television!; a few years later, Allen tried to make up for his massive blunder by producing the series of Matt Helm movies with Dean Martin, but the only way he could get Martin to star was to make him a partner, which meant that Martin made more money from The Silencers in 1966 than Sean Connery made on Thunderball the previous year, and Connery was not happy about that at all!) starring Jose Ferrer, Trevor Howard, Victor Maddern, Anthony Newley, and Dora Bryan
