Taunt, well structured little TV movie produced by Harve Bennett who made a fair few of these. It's about the cat and mouse duel between a German tank and an American plane in the African desert in World War Two. Well it starts off with two planes - piloted by Roy Thines and Doug McClure. The tank meets up with German general Lloyd Bridges who shoots down one plane and becomes obsessed with getting the other one; the surviving plane is wounded.
It's well structured and exciting in part because McClure has weird billing so you expect him to die at any moment. Bridges almost wrecks the whole film with his outrageously hammy accent - was director David Lowell Rich too scared to tell him to stop?
