Bosley Crowther New York Times This film, from A Sound of Hunting, which was a play by Harry Brown, done in 1945 on Broadway, is a dismally meretricious thing, half of it smoldering dugout drama and the other half cheesecake burlesque. Rated: 2/5 Oct 6, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A film liked by the critics but never able to find an audience. Rated: B- Oct 1, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

ashley h Eight Iron Men is an excellent film. It is about Sergeant Joe Mooney is leading his small squad on the front-lines during WWII in Italy. Arthur Franz and Lee Marvin give incredible performances. The screenplay is well written. Edward Dmytryk did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Eight Iron Men is a must see.
