Audience Member Very much a product of its time, and it has not aged well. The film wobbles unsteadily from hard-nosed action to tearful sentimentality and back, several times. The director seems to think that zooming in on an actor's face will provide Significance to a scene otherwise lacking it completely. The score is ridiculous and intrusive. And, if my memory serves me correctly, one of the film's main premises is not historically accurate: I'm pretty sure that black and white soldiers did not serve in the same units in WWII. The whole movie is pretty much a waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Another inspirational piece from the Klaus Kinski film library. Here, the self-serving Kinski is banished to death by his own troops for misconduct before escaping and unintentionally becoming a liberator to a small French village in WWII. Obscure foreign effort that would be entirely forgettable without Kinski. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
