Ski Troop Attack

An American patrol must cross into enemy territory on skis in an attempt to blow up a strategically placed railroad bridge. The troop is led by a tough-as-nails sergeant and a green and untested lieutenant. The mission is threatened by constant bombardment from relentless Nazi soldiers and hostile confrontations with German civilians including a seductive fraulein. Shot back-to-back with Gene Corman's Best Of Haunted Cave in Deadwood, South Dakota, Ski Troop Attack utilized much of the same cast and crew. Roger Corman himself can be seen playing a Nazi leader (with his lines dubbed into German). This was also Corman's first attempt at directing a war movie, a genre he revisited only two more times in his career- The Secret Invasion (1964) and Von Richthofen And Brown (1970). (Verleiher-Text)
