One of the two finest war movies showing character development.

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2002)

The historical event that prompts this epic movie is well shown. The filming of the scene is outstanding. There is only one other war movie that has as great of individual character development as this and it is "The Caine Mutiny". Nigel Green will always be, in my mind, the epitome of the English "stiff upper lip at all costs" with his portrayal of Sgt. Bourne. The entire cast portrayed each individual with outstanding clarity. Special kudos to Stanley Baker. The music was a chilling prelude through out and by itself could stand alone.
