Tarnished Heroes

Tarnished Heroes is a 1962 British war film directed by Ernest Morris, from Danziger Productions, starring Dermot Walsh and Anton Rodgers. The film is set in France during World War II, and concerns a British major who destroys a Nazi convoy. The plot of the film bears similarities with the Dirty Dozen, although it was made five years before Robert Aldrichs film, and three years before the novel on which it is based. However, it is possible that Tarnished Heroes was inspired by the success of The Magnificent Seven released in 1960, as the concept seems close the recruitment of a band of renegades to fight a difficult fight for the common good.
