    Watched this today for the first time in many years. Does anyone know who the narrator was at the end? He sounded British.

    Don't know but it is certainly the best of the Entebee film IMHO

    I would put forward a case for the Israeli film Operation Thunderbolt.

    I haven't seen that one,but Raid On Entebbe was certainly better than Victory At Entebbe,which was over keen on too many stars.

    I like ROE, it's well made and Bronson is on good form. OT, surprisingly well directed by Menahem Golan, has an documentary feel to it (probably due to the very low budget) but is very exciting. Golan went on to direct the Entebbe inspired monstrosity The Delta Force with Chuck Norris.

    Marky - I ran this (never having seen it before) just before I signed on and thought that the end narration was by Peter Finch.

    Hi MarkyB,



    Watched this last night and, although I wouldn't wager on it, It did sound like Peter Finch

    As it played Rabin in the film it's quite likely that he did the narration as well. Finch won an Emmy for this, his final role.

    Does anyone else know who plays the uncredited Englishman in the bit quite early on in the film who is at De Gaulle Airport looking for Sylvia Sydney?
