This reviewer would love to have a detailed production history of Boris Sagal's Mosquito Squadron -- made in 1968 but not released until 1970, if you blinked you missed it in theaters, and it never got much exposure on television, either. It was the last of an interesting series of modestly budgeted World War II thrillers that included Attack on the Iron Coast and The 633 Squadron, all made in association with the Mirisch Brothers and United Artists. As it happens, Mosquito Squadron isn't a bad little movie and, in fact, is superior in some ways to UA's much bigger budgeted Battle of Britain (1969). It's nicely made, with good production values throughout -- although a lot of it looks a little too clean and a tiny bit threadbare to be quite strictly realistic, the only patently false scene is one in which David McCallum and Suzanne Neve are driving through the countryside in what is a painfully obvious back-projection sequence; but otherwise, this is an unassuming and exciting war movie, with a good script that only falters (and does so very badly, for about three minutes) at one point in the denouement. David McCallum is good in his portrayal of the conflicted hero, Squadron Leader Quint Munroe, and he gets good support from Suzanne Neve, Dave Dundas, Charles Gray, and Dinsdale Landen. The score by Frank Cordell is also one of the better bodies of music for a film of this genre in this period, stirring in all of the right places and lyrical and sweeping where it needs to be. As for the action sequences, they're very well done, especially the scenes of the Mosquito squadron in flight, which are very stirring and almost spellbinding. Director Boris Sagal (who also directed McCallum on The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) shows himself a fine action director with a good handle on the dramatic side of the script as well.
