Idiotic film that portrays a bunch of drunk losers who brawl, that suddenly become one of the best army units in WW2. The incessant brawling takes 2 hours of time. It is tedious and juvenile.
William Holden is as stiff as ever in his role as some tough commander who's always at the front of the battle, without taking an injury I might add.
You might want to throw away your brain once the actual battles start up, since the Wehrmacht is portrayed as a bunch of idiots who don't know how to fight or stand guard duty. The greenhorn US grunts walk down a stream and take the whole town just like that.
There is also no way a bunch of greenhorn US grunts are going to capture a town that was probably supported by Gebirgsjäger (Mountain units) and Waffen SS Mountain units by simply and easily climbing up a steep hill without gloves or equipment.
There is also no way a bunch of greenhorn US grunts are going to capture a hill held by seasoned Fallschirmjäger units (paratrooper).
In 1944, I served and fought in the German Wehrmacht. I was 13 years old and was pressed into service with retrofitted units. Although hardly at full strength, these were extremely tough and well seasoned units. The fighting was extremely difficult and every territory did not suddenly surrender to the allies.
