One Episode that Touches Your Heart
When Lt. Hanley and Sgt. Saunders' squad runs out ammunition, the survivors are forced to surrender to the German soldiers. Hanley, Saunders, Caje, Littlejohn, Billy and Kelly are taken prisoners and tied up in a barn, hungry and tired. Out of the blue, the artillery fires at the place and Hanley and his men escape but leave Saunders tied behind without noticing. When Saunders finally escapes from the barn, his hands are completely burned and his squad is ahead believing he has died. Hanley and his squad and Saunders behind try to return to the Allied lines, and the helpless Saunders becomes delusional with his wounds. Will they be rescued?
"Survival" is one episode that touches the heart of the viewer and stays in his or her mind. I was a boy when I saw this episode and now seeing it again on DVD, I still recalls Sgt. Saunders' dramatic situation, looking at the apple or carrying a German dead body. The underrated Vic Morrow has a mesmerizing and one of his best performances in the role of the unforgettable Sgt. Saunders. My vote is nine.
Title (Brazil): "Sobrevivência" ("Survival")
