It's flat formulaic fare, but fitting for a lazy Saturday morning.Born May 26, 1909, in New York, NY died of heart failure, January 4, 1991, in Santa Monica, CA son of Jerome (an electrical engineer) and Claire (Friedman) Maibaum married Sylvia Kamion (a teacher and musician), 1935 children:Matthew, Paul. Still, there's some enjoyment to be had in spotting several familiar faces in the supporting cast including - along with those already mentioned - David Lodge, Kenneth Cope, Percy Herbert, George Coulouris, George Pravda, and 'Allo 'Allo's Richard Marner, to name but a few. Performance wise he's his usual wooden self, mistaking scowling for acting, whilst his character's insistence that he must escape at all costs, ruining the attempts of others and to hell with an escape committee, marks him down, for me at least, as a selfish arrogant prick rather than a hero to root for. Your enjoyment of No Time to Die pretty much depends on how you feel about Mature as a leading man and his character. It isn't long before escape is on everyone's minds and a dangerous pursuit across the desert lies in store. Following the opening tank battle, Mature is captured along with the usual cliches of by-the-book, stiff upper lip British officer (Leo Genn) and a cheery, chirpy cockney squaddie (Anthony Newley) and taken to a POW camp run by a German and Italian alliance. He's joined up because he was married to a German Jew and therefore feels the war is personal.

Produced by Cubby Broccoli, from a script by Richard Maibaum and the film's director, Terence Young, No Time to Die (to give this British film its proper British title Tank Force is the title it went by in the USA) stars Victor Mature as an American in the British 8th army fighting in North Africa.

This is the kind of film the people who created the James Bond series did before stumbling upon that winning formula. For a war film that throws in everything including the kitchen sink - a sympathetic German officer who hates the Nazis (Alfred Burke), a ruthless, cold blooded Polish soldier (Bonar Colleano), an urbane pro-Nazi Arab Sheikh (Maxwell Shaw), a fascist posh traitor in the POW camp (Kenneth Fortescue) and a brief spot of eye-candy in the voluptuous shape of Luciana Paluzzi - this a surprisingly lifeless affair.
