I never give a 10 rating--but this film is most special. Wish it was fictional--but there are thousands of stories like this from WW2.
It seems so real - - not like a film at all. Seeing
Clift at the beginning of his career, as well as director Zinneman, is an added treat - -they would work together later in 1953's "Eternity".
Supporting cast is brilliant.... A film all children should see (specially in the USA) when learning about war and world. An amazing cinematic work.
