Benefiting from a great cast (Van Heflin, Aldo Ray, James Whitemore), Raoul Walsh's WWII actioner is one of the most commercially popular war movies ever made.

More a soap opera story of wartime romances than an action war film.

Fascinating soap opera romance with a little bit of World War II background.
