Dark Of The SunLabel: Warner ArchiveDescription: Take elite commandos send them on a do-or-die assignment -- and sit back and watch the action explode. The men-on-a-mission formula that worked in 1967's The Dirty Dozen and in Where Eagles Dare (released in the U.S. in 1969) provides another salvo of volatile screen adventure with this strike-force saga released in 1968. Rod Taylor and Jim Brown are among a mercenary unit rolling on a steam train across the Congo headed for the dual tasks of rescuing civilians imperiled by rebels and recovering a cache of diamonds. The film's violence is fierce unforgiving ahead of its time. Quentin Tarantino would offer a tribute of sorts to this red-blooded wallop of a cult fave by using part of its compelling score in Inglourious Basterds.Aspect Ratio: ORIGINAL ASPECT RATIO - 1.85:1Audio Format: DOLBY SURROUND 2.0 - English DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND 5.1 - EnglishColor / Black & White: ColorSpecial Features:
