STUDIOCANAL have announced the upcoming release of the newly-restored
classic British WW2 drama, THEY WHO DARE. Starring Dirk Bogarde, the film

on the true story of "Operation Anglo", which involved an attack on two
airfields on Rhodes by the S.B.S. (not the S.A.S. as portrayed in the
film), THEY WHO DARE is directed by Lewis Milestone (All Quiet on The
Western Front, Mutiny on The Bounty) and features a supporting cast that
includes Denholm Elliot (A Room With a View, Indiana Jones and The Raiders
of The Lost Ark), Akim Tamiroff (Touch of Evil, The Trial) and Harold
Siddons (The Dam Busters, A Night to Remember) Featuring brand-new bonus
material and looking better than ever, THEY WHO DARE is a welcome addition
to the ever-expanding Vintage Classics collection. During the Second World
War, Lieutenant Graham (Dirk Bogarde) is sent on a mission to destroy two
German airfields on Rhodes that may threaten Egypt. Under his command, a
group of six Special Boat Service, two Greek officers and two local guides
are assembled. The group is taken to Rhodes by submarine and comes ashore
at night on a desolate beach. From there, the group has to traverse the
mountains to reach its targets. At a pre-designated location, the party
splits into two raiding parties. After having infiltrated the air bases,
they blow up the aircraft, but two of the raiders are taken prisoner by the
Italians. Hunted by the many enemy patrols, will the others evade capture
and make it back to the submarine in time?
