In 1941, bands of guerrilla soldiers dot the Russian countryside, attempting to drive out Nazi invaders. Vladimir (Gregory Peck) leads one such group and, with his rag-tag crew of amateur soldiers, mounts a courageous campaign to blow up a Nazi ammunition train. But Vladimir faces a moral dilemma when he must choose between two women -- beautiful ex-ballerina Nina (Tamara Toumanova) and loyal factory worker Yelena (Maria Palmer) -- to send on a dangerous mission.

None of it is any nearer the Russian war than the lobby of an "art" movie theater. Go to Full Review

j f @LiberteBurrows Sep 14 Big fan of this very brief period, when Ike told Hollywood to throw the Ruskies a few bones. See more Steve D 01/17/2024 The weak production value sinks it. See more 08/21/2013 World War II romance between Russian partisan leader, Gregory Peck, and ballerina, Tamara Toumanova, with a terrific final fight as the small band hold off German tanks. See more 04/22/2013 this practically unseen tourneur must have gotten buried during the cold war. featuring tourneur's biggest budget, immediately after the success of 'cat people', it's gripping and suspenseful, with great characterizations. gregory peck's debut opposite the 'black pearl' of the russian ballet, tamara toumanova, features a bit too much speechifying but it's a wonderful bit of propaganda all the same See more 08/31/2012 Días de Gloria (Days of Glory, 1944) dir. por Jacques Tourneur. Pelicula con la que debuta en el cine Grerory Peck. . La trama es sobre unos milicianos rusos que se esconden en un monasterio en ruinas para evitar el avance nazi. En realidad el filme es una película romantica de corte belico muy emotiva. No dire que es la obra maestra de Tourneur, pero tampoco puede minimizarse esta pelicula que debieran volver a analizar aquellos que la han menospreciado por poseer un mensaje patriotico. See more 08/29/2012 Rare piece of American cinema praising the Soviet war effort, although the actual story itself isn't anything special and full of cliches in what is Gregory Peck's first outing.
