A laughably bad World War II picture from 1968, "Attack on the Iron Coast" registers as nearly a parody of the genre, replete with hammy acting and silly action scenes. The director, Paul Wendkos, made his name with "Gidget" and its myriad sequels and is mostly known for his television work. After making this film starring Lloyd Bridges — another TV vet with "Sea Hunt" — Wendkos would go on to direct the pilot of "Hawaii Five-O" and a couple of its first-season episodes.
