Tarnished Heroes
''Tarnished Heroes'' is a 1961 British war film directed by Ernest Morris and starring Dermot Walsh and Anton Rodgers. It was produced by Danziger Productions. The film is set in France during World War II, and concerns a British major who destroys a Nazi convoy. 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. However, it is possible that ''Tarnished Heroes'' was inspired by the success of ''The Magnificent Seven'', released in 1960, as the concept seems close: the recruitment of a band of renegades to fight a difficult fight for the common good. Plot When Major Roy Bell (Walsh) and his company are trapped by the advancing German army, Bell decides to embark on a suicide mission to blow up a bridge which is of strategic importance to the enemy.
