In this epic Second World War drama, Robert Mitchum plays an American war correspondent covering the Allied Forces' landing at Anzio Beach in Italy and their costly and bloody march on Rome. This is one of those war movies that poses thunderous moral questions at every turn and gives ordinary Joes' statements rather than dialogue. It's a long haul, in every respect. Predictably, Mitchum and the odd cameo by the likes of Robert Ryan and Arthur Kennedy are the only things worth watching.

Threadbare war film which wastes an all-star American cast.

An OK War Movie...
This is not a landmark film by any means I have to say. At best it?s an okay war move. Robert Mitchum does his usual good job as a long-time war correspondent, and Peter Falk as a Ranger corporal at the Anzio invasion is creditable. There just doesn't seem to be a lot there. This goes down as a missed opportunity by the filmmakers.
