This was a film for my husband I can't stand war films but he watched it and loved it. If you like these types of films, no doubt you will enjoy this as much as he did.

This film covers the last gasp offensive of the germans in the west. It doesn't do it well. Overlooking the many technical inaccuracies the first half is ok. But for a film supposed to be set in a winter forested area its just too sunny and desert like. The plot gets more inaccurate as it goes on and degenerates into a boys own adventure with a few heroes stopping the entire advance. In amongst the gung ho action there are a few good scenes with the good german soldier arguing with his nazi general over the pointlessness of the war.

This is the sort of war film that they don't make 'em like anymore: terrific production values, stereotypical Yankees versus stereotypical Teutonics, the sorts of roles that Fonda, Ryan, Andrews and Savalas could have reprised in their sleep, and an only slightly restrained Robert Shaw. The DVD is really handsomely produced. It's a beautifully clear print with full symphonic score including overture and three minutes of interval music, the Cinerama seamlessly rendered and only betrayed by suspiciously centralised composition and a tendency for subjective sequences from the drivers' windows of cars or trains. Watch it in the dark and you'd swear you were back in the local Odeon circa 1967. Great stuff.

Hugely inaccurate especially in the hardware. As is common in war films of the '60s used the same old 1950s tanks for both US and Germans - paint a cross on the side and you've got a german tank, paint a white star and you've got a yank. Sometimes the snow was there sometimes it wasn't. Probably been spoilt by more recent productions where massive efforts have been made to achieve accuracy in uniforms and equipment. It was years ago when I first saw this - would never bother again. Rent Band of Brothers instead!
