Commandos Strike at Dawn is a Template:Fy war film directed by John Farrow and written by Irwin Shaw from a story by C.S. Forester, starring Paul Muni, Anna Lee, Lillian Gish, Cedric Hardwicke, and Robert Coote. The story concerns a peaceful Norwegian man who is stirred to violence after the Nazis occupy his quiet fishing village. He manages to get to England, and guides some British Commandos to a raid on a secret airstrip the Germans are building on the Norwegian coast.
The film was shot in the Greater Victoria, Canada, area. Saanich Inlet stands in for Norwegian Fjords. The airstrip is what would become the Victoria International Airport. Hall's Boat House (now Goldstream Marina) is where the wharf scenes are shot.
