That such a film was made in 1957 is amazing. I've always liked Kubrick's films, and this one really showcases his talent at an early age. The battle scenes are still exciting and were likely ground-breaking at the time. The acting is powerful and the camera shots are, as usual for SK, really well-staged. Overall, one of the best war films I've seen. Still holds up well against the new round of war films that "Private Ryan" kicked off.
