P.S. Harrison Harrison's Reports Those who like war pictures should get fairly good satisfaction out of this program melodrama. Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Jean-Luc Godard Cahiers du Cinéma A little film which is singularly pleasing to the eye because the action sequences are sharply handled, and which also pleases the mind because the dialogue scenes are lodged under the same sign.
