Overwiew :Director Edward Dmytryk's sprawling, ambitious WWII drama, based on the acclaimed Irwin Shaw novel, stars Marlon Brando as Christian, a German ski instructor who idealistically joins Hitler's army, fights in the North African desert, and gradually loses faith in his country and humanity in general. Parallel stories take place across the Atlantic, as a tipsy Broadway star (Dean Martin) wrestles with his conscience and cowardice, since his connections keep him out of the draft. Another thread follows sensitive Jewish draftee Noah (Montgomery Clift) as he encounters anti-Semitism both from his fellow G.I.s and the parents of the girl he loves (Hope Lange). Eventually, all three men meet near the end of the war in the most tragic circumstances. The film suffers from a somewhat rambling, episodic structure, but is more than redeemed by great black-and-white photography and the superb performances of the three leads. Brando looks great, and his German accent is a delight; Clift brilliantly conveys his trademark anguish as Noah. As for Martin, this was his first big dramatic role after leaving comic partner Jerry Lewis, and his performance amazed an initially doubtful public. He was a hit, as was the film.

  Critic Reviews  Grade
www.boxoffice.com - : Smartly recognizing the value of one's library is key to exploiting that library on DVD. MGM has been among the most successful studios with this strategy, dividing its library into an assortment of different labels for marketing purposes (even though the most valuable MGM films now all belong to Warner Bros.). That tactic now appears to have been seized smartly by Fox who has released four new films and repackaged several older films under the ''Fox War Classics'' line. Previous releases ''The Longest Day,'' ''The Thin Red Line,'' ''Von Ryan's Express,'' ''Twelve O'Clock High'' and a new single-disc release of ''Patton'' (minus the second disc of extras) have been assigned to the new line along with the new releases ''Guadalcanal Diary,'' ''Halls of Montezuma,'' ''The Young Lions'' and ''A Wing and a Prayer.'' And as there are many more where all of those came from, one can expect the line to grow and succeed with time.   more...
