This has been one of those gritty small films that has a lot going for it. It stays in your mind long after some big budget films fade away. Great performances all around, with Jack Palance leading the way. I always wanted it on DVD and am happy to find it.

i've wanted this movie for years ,ever since i first saw it in 1956.jack palances best acting ever-i've hated eddie albert ever since i saw this movie .albert plays palanes commanding officer who is a coward and a imcompetent officer. jack palance did 3 great acting roles for b type movies in the 50's-attack,sign of the pagan(he plays attila the hun-steals the whole movie) and barabbas. highly recommend all 3 movies-if you can get them-sign of the pagan -never came out in vhs or dvd.
When all goes wrong on the battlefield at the hands of a cowardly commander, all bets are off. Jack Palance here is absolutely great! Authentic. You feel for his side of the issues that this war picture brings out. It is not merely a war adventure but much more a movie of morality, justice and bravery. You believe Palance when he says to Albert that he will shove a grenade down his throat and pull the pin. From there on in the movie ticks like a time bomb. No surprise for a director that would later make the Dirty Dozen.
Great movie very happy
