Help identifying old war movie
I'm trying to find an old WW2 war/espionage movie that I saw as a (very) young kid. All I remember clearly is a scene where the heroes infiltrate the enemy lines by posing as sailors on a decrepit freighter, going as far as pouring whisky on their clothes to complete the drunk sailor illusion. A subplot involves a scary (for my four year old self) spy-lady that dispatches enemy spies with a stiletto in the back, but I'm not 100% sure it's from the same movie. I watched this in the very early eighties. No, it's not The Guns of Navarone.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, you have my thanks. 85.186.138.169 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:33, 14 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, I found it: The Sea Wolves. Quite a lot of the cast also starred in Guns of Navarone. The scary spy lady was Barbara Kellerman.
