ORDERS TO KILL is a psychological drama about a young American bomber pilot (played by Paul Massie , winner of the Most Promising Newcomer to Film Award at the 1959 BAFTA Film Awards) who is sent to Nazi-occupied France to kill a Paris lawyer (Eddie Albert – ROMAN HOLIDAY) believed to be betraying his colleagues in the French Resistance. Before being parachuted into France the young pilot is given a rigorous training for his assignment of murder. He finds his selected victim is a gentle henpecked husband, who dotes on his daughter, and he begins to feel that the man may not be guilty… But where will his moral dilemma lead him?
