When Sgt Saunders finally receives the requested replacements, he is completely disappointed since they are the rookies Pvt. Joe Gainsborough, who was a cook; Pvt. WayneTemple, who was a ballet dancer; and Pvt. Jerome Crown, who was a radio broadcaster in London. Soon Saunders is assigned with Caje, Kirby and the rookies to patrol a small town to check whether there are German troops or not. Saunders divides the group in three pairs to cover the whole town and he stays with the arrogant Crown. Saunders asks him to check one street, but Crown freezes and lies, telling that he checked the area and missing a gun machine nest. Soon his reckless attitude brings consequences to the squad.
Directed by Robert Altman, "Rear Echelon Commandos" shows lessons of war where rookie soldiers must learn how to survive or die, and how dependable their lives are from the correct attitude of his pal. Sunders is a great trainer and he is certainly proud in the end with his new replacements. My vote is eight.
