Comment/Synopsis
After the Germans invade the channel islands, two people (David Niven and Glynis Johns) are sent in undercover to kidnap and return to England a prize cow. This is a mildy entertaining British war film, but suffers from not really be clear if it is a comedy, a drama or a romance and ends up falling between all these. Despite that, it does have a pleasant charm.
