The wartime material is fairly standard (if well-executed), but the simmering theme of racism is honestly handled. Go to Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 11/06/2019

Paul N 10/07/2023 Utterly incoherent. They fight the Nazis by day and visit nighclubs (where Tony Curtis plays bebop trumpet) by night. Also, they fight over Natalie Wood, who is supposedly Black. Then they go on a vital mission together, during which Sinatra says, "I'll kill you." Dreck. See more Steve D 07/11/2023 Powerful and surprising in its honesty. See more andy h 05/03/2021 It may not be a stand out of the era, but Natalie wood brings her magic in between the lesser and explosive moments. See more 12/07/2020 It was a well made movie, except the story really didn't make much sense. Was good to pass the time for a few hours. See more 09/29/2019 I liked this movie. A wonderful performance by Frank Sinatra. See more 06/28/2019 Issue of racism played out better than most movies at that time. Sinatra was at his best See more Read all reviews
