When it comes to great, suspenseful, feel good

When it comes to great, suspenseful, feel good, British war time classics... it doesnt get much better then 'Ice Cold in Alex'. What a great title. In fact I wouldn't mind cracking open an ice cold one in Alex after watching this great film. The amount of suspense in this picture is back breaking... literally in one scene. Then there is the whole sequence through the mine field. Oh boy! I've never been so glued to the screen. So much great team work going on. This is more character driven then most war stories. Focusing on one small band. The casting is great. Mills and Quayle are fantastic. The acting is pretty good for this time period. The ending is satisfying too! Very well put together film. It gives you a feeling that there are so many stories that happened during the war, and that this is just one of them. The few instances where they do use music in this film in kind of reminded me of some of John William's work on star wars. This films message is generally stoicism and team work in adversity. And even a touch of comradeship with ones enemy. All in all, it's a must watch for war film enthusiasts and anyone who likes suspense films. Give it a watch. It deserves more credit.

A pretty good war film which holds up

A pretty good war film which holds up well today. The bar scene was used in a lager advert maybe in the 90s and I always assumed it was filmed for the advert to look old, nope - it was actually in the film.

A war film based on character observation is

A war film based on character observation is rare as it relies on quality acting. Mills is a great actor anyway, but the quartet including Quale, Andrews and Simon is a perfect cast. The heroics is in the journey itself, not big set action scenes. One of my absolute favourite films.
