What happens

Tarnished Heroes is a 1961 British war film directed by Ernest Morris and starring Dermot Walsh and Anton Rodgers. It was written by Brian Clemens and produced by Danziger Productions. The film is set in France during World War II, and concerns a British major who blows up a strategic bridge. The plot of the film bears similarities to The Dirty Dozen, although it was made five years before Robert Aldrich's film, and three years before the novel on which it is based.
