Bitter Victory

Set during the North African Campaign of World War II, Bitter Victory concerns top secret missions and clandestine love behind enemy lines. Veteran Captain Jimmy Leith (Burton), volunteers to lead a dangerous operation in Benghazi alongside the booksmart but inexperienced Major David Brand (Jurgens). Soon, the Major realizes he and Captain Leith share more than just the mission: his wife Jane, an RAF Flight Lieutenant, seems to share a mysterious past with the Captain. Bitter Victory accents its taut emotions with the horror and glory of war, set against a desert landscape.
