- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Their assignment amounted to "kill or be killed": During World War II, just prior to D-Day, a seven-man arrives on the French coast with orders to help wipe out a German communications center three miles inland. There's suspense in the Steel Helmet tradition as the men attempt to hold the captured building against the enemy and their snipers.
Director: Richard Bartlett
Stars: Richard Bartlett, Earle Lyon, Jeanette Bordeaux, Earl Hansen, Robert Knapp, Frank Stanlow

Taking chow out in the open, yelling, noisy gear clanging! They had no military advisors, for sure!
THE ENEMY BELOW
Great movie!
Starring Robert Mitchum!
It seems more of a spoof on commandos. These guys were undisciplined and several were preoccupied and not focused like you would expect of a commando group.
preoccupied & unfocused also applies to the directors of this film !
Maybe it was a training program showing how not to act in the field 😂
I can’t believe that anyone would make a movie like this. Surely there will be one survivor in the end.
As stupid as they are just getting up on the beach I cannot believe that they won't even make it to the main road or wherever they are going,, I'm seven minutes in and I've got the bug out,, this group of soldiers has never even been into a boy scout troop, much less some mean Green killing machine,,hhaaa that is not allowed for whoever tried to pass this off
The behavior of this bunch tells me why it took so long to end the WW2
This is supposed to be Southern France just before "Operation Dragoon", there were many D-Days during World War two. Looking for mines on a beach covered in footprints........hummmm. Semi-auto bolt action rifles.......hummmm. Why are they always walking in a lighted area? I suspect this was a class project at UCLA.
No, it was the Dieppe Raid of 1942 made up of Canadians and American Rangers. It was a poorly planned and executed raid that was a total disaster.
Just BEFORE D-Day these guys land in Normandy for a mission 3 miles behind the beach, and they stop for chow in a CLEARING and make all sorts of noise, when every other soldier in the area is a Gertman? In real life these guys would be dead already.
I'm presuming the Germans in the area were all deaf 🤣😬🤪
It wasn't just before D-day. It was the Dieppe raid of 1942 carried out by Canadian commandos and American rangers. It was a total disaster and most were either killed or captured.
@@darrengilbert7438 perhaps you should inform the movie presenters as in the movie description is says ; their assignment amounted to kill or be killed during WW2 just prior to D day, a seven-man arrives on the French coast to help wipe out e.c.t. 🙄
Briefing the team in the boat on the way into the beach, what could possibly go wrong?
Title should read.."How to Get Killed in First 10 minutes of a Mission !"
The training film got mixed in with the other movies 😂
What a kind of comando team is this? In 1944, using only bolt action rifles??? No M1 carbine, Garand, Thompson....
It was 1942. The Dieppe Raid was an operation consisting of Canadians and American Rangers. It was poorly planned and executed. In the end, it was a complete disaster for the Allies.
This is the most undisciplined group of soldiers I have ever seen. Definitely not a trained team. It’s a wonder they did’nt all get killed in the first 5 minutes after getting ashore. One grenade would have wiped them out on their food break. Also , too much talk,for a secret mission.
It took all of 10 minutes to get everyone out of the raft and onto the shore. This is like the County Morgue in low gear.
one guy weaing a white vest ,the officer's shiny golden bar ,the white faces
They knew the Germans in the area were all short sighted 🤣🙄
It's a new camouflage design.
What a star I'm talking about the Goat🤣🤣
Whew.. I see I'm not alone in thinking wth kind of commando movie is this? I started asking myself: is this a really bad comedy? Feeling for mines on the beach by pressing your boots firmly into the sand.. Holy Moley.. 😅
The character development was next to none...............ratings don't go that low. And the bolt action rifles do a remarkable job at firing semi-auto. Those are the two highlights of this "movie".
Oh I don't know, the character of Peppy was clearly that of a coarse idiot.
Not to mention the Arizona scenery in France.
A beach absolutely covered in footprints and they look for mines!!!😂😂
They were all green commandos 😂
They knew there were no mines it was the 4th take!
Nothing "silent" about these raiders. Those two from Yonkers needed their tongues cut out the first five minutes.
At the very start "silently infiltrated southern France". Dieppe is in Northern France ! ! ! It doesn't get better 😞
Finally! Off my bucket list. Dang! I was on the edge of my seat waiting for that monster to jump out! Too bad they cut the porn part out.
"testing the effectiveness of commando" - The British invented it and proved it to be very effective...
actually the Boers invented it to great effect against the British, we just formalised and improved on the idea
I kept watching this thinking it must get better..... I was wrong.
If anything was ever mistitled it's this.
Long drawn out boredom. Like watching a heard of elephants trying to capture a pride of lions. Anything but silent.
If Ed Wood had made a war movie....
Thanks. Now I won't sleep tonight.
Winner!
A 65 minute demonstration on how not to make a military action film.
thanks... I will skip it.
Thank you, I have never been into the military, I'm pushing 70 and so glad I never was called to do it, I know deep in my heart and freely admitted I could never be like a lot of the heroes you hear about in those true stories that they put on it like from soldiers diaries, I know in my heart that I would be like these guys, they seem like they're just stupid and praying to get killed, whoever directed this film has been as close to the war as I have and I will have not even been in a boy scout troop,,ha
exactly - have'nt seen a movie this bad in a very long time !
Where can we see your military action film? 🙄
The only thing this movie is missing is Leslie Nielson.
I concur!
Silent Raiders, LOL, they couldn't have made more noise if they had tried.
The keystone commandos? HIlarious.
How did we win the war?
Surrender or we send in the goat!
Oh, like the retarded Keystone Cops, 1900 or 1910. Most ppl alive now don't know that humor
@rahkinrah1963 we won by not allowing crummy script writers to be generals etc 🙏🇺🇸
Nasty. Perhaps one of the worst war movies on UA-cam. For guys on a supposedly secret mission to destroy a German communications centre they make a lot of noise. Worth watching just to see how bad it is. Look for the scene where three unarmed Germans are marching along an isolated country road😂.
What was that scene of the three German soldiers about?????????????
What was the point of their mission other than to get killed.
As with so many movies of this period the music is out of context with the action, or lack of in this case, on screen
They only spent $1,000 to make this movie
Which one of them carried the floodlight and generator for the night scenes?
They were carried in the back-up 4WD 😂😂😂
The one they called The Chief had the most intelligent dialogue.
At 42:11, they attacked the German MG nest using bayonets to be quiet and for "secrecy", when the Germans a minute before already used their MG to kill the civilians...so much for "being stealthy"...
If these are the forward commandos you wonder how we won the war...
They did say it’s a Suicide Mission, They’re trying to make sure.
John Wayne won it while sitting at home while the men amongst the stars went to war
John Yellow belly(please don't send me off to fight I might get hurt ) Wayne
well said !|
Saw this at the 101 Drive-in when it came out ...best thing in the whole picture is Lyon's theme song ...
Hiring the Three Stooges as part of the commando team would have been a lot better ! At least there will be some NYUCK,NYUCK, NYUCK moments! Hehehe
Not a very smart bunch
Yelling in enemy territory
Is a good way to get killed
@@michaelhewitt258 Don't forget to bring your pet goat along.
@@rahkinrah1963 Finders keepers. Lol
Dumb as a box of rocks. This cartoon s very stupid.
Amen
I was a real Marine Raider / scout swimmer with 3rd Battalion 4th Marines during my 1st tour in Vietnam. This movie is a dud from start to finish. These "silent Raiders" should be called silly Raiders! They don't know the 1st thing about noise discipline. Talking bull$#¡+ all through their mission. The Writer and Director of this flick should be Court- Martialed.
First, thank you for your service (from a Navy vet). This movie is so inept that I found it enjoyable watching the whole thing, just to be able to pick it apart! I spoke to the producer/star many years ago;he said they had absolutely no budget to produce the thing. I'm sure, however, he could have found a Marine to make certain the movie was half-way accurate.
Wake me up when this is over 😂
At least one of the crew went on to bigger and better things, MUCH bigger and better, in fact - Elmer Bernstein.
What a mob of inept soldiers! This movie made so many wartime mistakes that it was hard to watch. The only real part in this movie was the goat. But talking about the goat, even that was totally wrong, as tying it up would only warn the Nazis that there was someone around. I just hoped it would get better as time went on. Unfortunately, it only got worse. I wouldn't even rate it a 'B' movie.
French coast sentry looks like he is in Palmdale California
Probably because he is.
Guy whispers ...boss shouts shad up,... they would have been taken out on the beach by the division of troops they woke up paddling in. Plus briefing in the dinghy, why not do it in the comfort of the submarine, nice quiet location ,everyone can hear, you can do a question and answer session to make sure everyone has the plan down tight, and every one can get a good look at the map, that's the first 7 minutes of the movie, time to not bother.
got to be the stupidest WW2 movie I've ever saw. my biggest complaint, would be the rifles. When they are running around and just carrying them, they are Parris/Dunn 03 training rifles. but when they start shooting the rifles, they turn into m-1 Grands.
Seems there still using the M1903 springfiled rifles.
It must of been a highly dangerous mission so they sent the worst and most expendable people they had.
Unknown movie unknown actors fitting.
Hey the sprocket movie
Great low budget. Drive In flick
Seven minutes. That's enough.
Was Bartlett a director that thought he could act, or an actor that thought he could direct? I hope he made other movies that came out better than this one.
At the very start @ 1:55 I can already see that this film is going to fall short on technical details, for example, not one man in the raft wearing cam cream and the Lt with his rank insignia glinting away on his shirt collar like a lighthouse on a moonless night. Just hope the storyline and acting are better. OMG, this is probably the most ill-disciplined bunch of commands ever portrayed on film, not even the basic technical knowledge and considering when this film was made quite a few of them probably fought in WWII/Korea, and you don’t forget what you learned that quickly. I have been out the military since 2003 and I have probably forgotten more about the things I learnt than these guys as a whole do know.
ROFLMAO, @ 13:08 best line yet “watch out for barbed wire fence, we don’t want to puncture the boat” how many barbed wire fences do you usually find in a river/creek????. Ooh look 👀 there’s one, about another 1/2 mile upstream, would never have seen it because of the superb camouflage 😅. Oh they were doing so well, paddling along in broad daylight without a care in the world, but all of a sudden Jack falls and might have drowned in the 12 inches of water, best someone shout loudly to save him, oh boy, this film will take an eternity to watch and even longer for viewers to read my critique, perhaps I should have written about the good bits, but that wouldn’t have been fun for me and an very short comment for you to read.
Let’s see, @ 18:04 Pepe uses initiative and takes out German guard whilst the rest face in the opposite direction from where the German was, and all he got was “what you doing over there without your helmet” what was he supposed to do? tell the German to wait until he put his helmet on, lol, it’s too funny. and whoever said it, referring to Pepe “I hope he’s not over there by those German trucks”, WHAT German trucks? When the got out the raft they were facing a huge hill and if the trucks were on the opposite side then why weren’t they facing in that direction?. 😂
Sorry, rewind slightly, you have to wonder what the Lt learned at OCS, Pepe gives him a perfectly reasonable response to the helmet debacle “I thought it would get in the way” how very true Pepe, especially as in most war films featuring the United States military in WWII they hardly ever wear the chin strap, easy for it to fall off, and poor old Pepe, having saved their bacon gets “well put it on”, no wonder the Lt was sent to OCS as a buck private, he must have shown the aptitude all officers need………STUPIDITY. Ok, my apologies to the Lt, it was the 1st Sergeant that made the stupid comment, perhaps he failed OCS for being not STUPID enough. Ok, missed the bit where the Lt got hit, well I didn’t really I just wanted to criticise him, but, how can he have done the voiceover at the start if he was dead, the film was obviously made in retrospect. Ok, now I am really confused, why put the Lts body in the water where any passing German could see it, in the brush, hidden, would be the only way to do it, and the 1st Sergeant abdicating command to the buck sergeant must be considered, at least in my experience of military law, dereliction of duty/command in the face of the enemy, a courts martial offence, and in time of war punishable by death.
There have been 2-3 the “chief” has been ribbed about not talking, that is another thing that would never happen, especially in a small team situation, how can you build up team spirit and cohesion without getting to know someone, you need respect, understanding, confidence and definitely communication, without communication none of those things can be achieved, it is plainly a ridiculous element in the whole ridiculous film. Sorry, I have to bang out, I have got to 24:02 and can’t take anymore of it, I sincerely hope that they didn’t use a “military advisor” because they either didn’t get what they paid for or they completely ignored him, and I say “him” because women didn’t have combat experience back then.
I have to give this 10/10 thumbs down for the film, but it should not reflect badly on the channels owner so it gets a thank you for posting, not everyone will dislike it.
Silent Raiders ? They Definitely weren’t Silent. “Silent Mission” The one They kept Silent about.
"...G.I.'s vs. German snipers" You are welcome
Great movie
Boston born 1960 it was very conservative and patriotic back then, people think the 60's was all peace and love, not so, although the nation was changing slowly and not for the better.🇺🇸🙏
Born in Los Angeles in 1956. It also was a patriot and conservative place. No longer.
peace and love at the democratic national convention 1968?
Can’t wait until you old farts take a dirt nap.
You mean racist, my family moved there in 66. I'll never forget the look i got by mrs. Conley. It was a hateful look i got everytime i stepped outside.
Lordy.... 😂
The compliments this movie is getting in the "Comments" section are hilarious and jokey. 😆
Everyone is very very very pleased with the movie 😁😁😁🎥
Wow. Bad movie indeed. Maybe a 200 dollar budget. Some films should be left in the can and never be shown again.
Around 42:00: The sound of gunfire. Dialogue: "What was that?"
Using 03 Springfields by ´special´troops after the Garand had been issued, one even looked like a flat sided training ´rifle´.
Best acting awards go to:
3. The trees
2. The goat
1. The barbed wire fence
This movie sucked!
To americans, silent means leaving the marching band and the ice cream truck back at base. This was a bunch of raw recruits based on their behavior. Loud, undisciplined. Why did the guy piss in a bottle?
If they were , Snoop and poop Men They would have been dead before they got in the raft Before the mission started they're not even dressed for it
This was a comedy right?? They are in 1944 and carrying bolt action rifles but in the shootout at the end they are blazing away like they had M1 Garrand's !!! There first stop it was decided to take in a nice clearing where they could be seen all around. I must say if a British Commando had acted like this on a patrol and survived he would be RTU'd as soon as they got back! 2 out of 10 !!!
Incorrect description. Not all German soldiers were Nazis. Correct description would be: American soldiers do alot of waking. And not much else.
Some waking, some sleeping 😴
@@pigmeatmarkham898 and some more walking.
I couldn't make it past that doltish song in the beginning.
Wow. They said this movie cost $27k to make. I can see why. But still a waste of $26,984 and 36 cents.
25:00 He pissed in the bottle. That was cold!😆
5 men and a couple if others plus the juggle. That is a movie.
Seven men in a boat...shiny Lt. bars on shirt...white t-shirt at night...DUUUHHH.
Interesting
Listening to Oboes, Flutes, and Drums over top the chirping frogs in the Soundtrack is almost as convincing as the blonde's french accent. This Film proves EVERYBODY can be a Director, a Producer, an Actor/Actress, a DoP, a Technical Consultant, a Gaffer, a Scriptwriter or whatever your heart desires. It doesn't mean you will be great, or even good. This Movie is embarrassing to watch. From the moment it starts to the moment it ends. If this was Hollywood's idea of Commandos, somebody sure thought wrong. 😂
Why dump the Lieutenant's body in the water? So the Germans could spot him and wonder where he came from, giving away their mission?
The worst war combat movie ever made.
Even at 1080p the image is blurry. Is UA-cam decreasing video quality to motive viewers to purchase the "premium" quality?
I checked it on my PC and it seemed okay. If you get a chance, please try it again and let me know if it improved. Many thanks for taking the time to write, and watch one of our movies. So far, I've heard nothing about UA-cam decreasing quality to motivate viewers to purchase Premium. Thanks again.
@@kitparker9448 thanks for the response. I appreciate it.
Even for 1954 this was bad on so many levels.. Super small budget or no knowledge of WWII weapons.only a sniper used an 1903 Springfield in 1944.. Even the Marines all had M1's by then..And the night before the landings thousands of paratrooper were dropped inland of the invasion beaches..
This movie was about the 1942 raid on Dieppe. It was carried out by Canadian commandos and American rangers. It was a poorly planned and executed raid. It turned out to be a total disaster with most either killed or captured.
From the description above: "There's suspense in the Steel Helmet tradition as the men attempt to hold the captured building against the enemy and their snipers."
How many things are wrong, just WRONG, in that sentence?
1. "Suspense". HA! The only suspense was whether the goat gets top billing.
2. What "Steel Helmet tradition"?
3. Hold the captured building... ? They shot it up and left for the beach, which was conveniently located down the hill from the shack, making that arduous 3-miles-in-an-eternity mountain trek just silly.
4. Snipers. What snipers?
how did they ever won the war?
Wow, what a stink-bomb...lol
I lost respect for this dumb flick.
Silent Raiders or like it lot of drunken bloody bricklayers on a worksite🤣🤣 will keep watching but not a bad laugh for a Saturday
Oh no !! Another Lippert production.
Fake, 1903 rifles. Too dark.
Not a bad film considering the budget. However, the last five minutes were a disappointment.
Great movie 7/24/24
Tell what you really think, please.
why are not there any subtitles?
I will check with UA-cam and see what the problem is. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
سلام ممنون از فیلم های سینمایی نظر من همان فیلمهای کلاسیک جنگی پارتیزانی موفق باشید
What pure crap. These clowns couldn't have even gotten to the beach alive. I always laughed at Ronald 'Rayguns' getting outacted by Gonzo, but the goat out acts the entire cast in this flick.
Yes, completely absurd from a military standpoint, BUT if you found it entertaining to pick out the many mistakes, then it was 80 minutes well spent!
Kind of a dumb movie.57:15 this fool enters the house with his rifle down and has no clue what to expect behind the door.
58:00 Did the Sarge just look at the dead lover boy and say to the girl "Get a baguette"?
Subtitles??? In SPANISH PLEASE!!!!
title shouldbe Not soSilent raiders
This was Elmer Bernstein's worst movie...ever
"Put your Hat on..." WTF, its a helmet. Poor writing.
Poor everything apart from the score.
Very satisfying lack of "background music!!" Could do a lot worse; blueprint for future COMMANDO war story picture books.
ATTACK
Great movie!
This in no way can be true 3 stooges plus 4
That was absolutely horrible. Not exactly up there with The Sands of Iwo Jima, Twelve O'clock High or Guadalcanal Diary.
