Wikipedia
Ill Met by Moonlight (1957), also known as Night Ambush, is a film by the British writer-director-producer team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the last film they made together through their Archers production company. The film, which stars Dirk Bogarde and features Marius Goring, David Oxley, and Cyril Cusack, is based on the 1952 book Ill Met by Moonlight: The Abduction of General Kreipe by W. Stanley Moss. It was an account of events during the author's service on Crete in World War II, featuring the capture and evacuation of the German commander, General Heinrich Kreipe. The title is a quotation from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
