Dark of the Sun Movie Review 1968

Lots of action; routine plot. Taylor is a tough mercenary hired to retrieve a supply of uncut diamonds from a beseiged town in the Congo during the 1950s rebellion. Oh, and if he can help out the town's inhabitants, that's okay too. Based on the novel by Wilbur A. Smith.
