January 2 1969 

PLAY DIRTY opens in London. Andre De Toth's last film. Written by Melvyn Bragg and Lotte Colin. Underappreciated, quasi Dirty Dozen riff with Brit officer Michael Caine heading up a 7 man suicide mission tasked with blowing up German fuel dump in Nth African desert. Brutal, nihilistic & cynical to a fault. Co-starring Nigel Davenport, Nigel Green and Harry Andrews.
