In 1941, as part of an effort to remain strictly neutral, the Dublin government made a deal with both Berlin and London whereby any soldier, sailor or pilot captured on Irish soil, whether of German or Allied forces, would be interned for the duration of the war. What the Irish failed to tell was that they would intern everybody in the same camp. It is here that Canadian pilot Miles Keogh and German pilot Rudolph Von Stegenbeck meet after a fight in which both their planes were downed. Outside the camp, both fall in love with the same woman, an independent Irishwoman who refuses to take sides in their private little war.

Quite enjoyable. Light drama. Some effective comedy. Some romance.
Hogan’s Heroes as a dramedy.
Thank you for sharing this! I am an avid-fan of Bill Campbill’s filmography, and trying to track down this film was very hard. I have archived a few of his forgotten TV shows and films, he’s a greatly-underappreciated actor!
Hi, could you please add a download for this movie. Just discovered your website and it looks amazing! Best, Tom
