steve d 07/21/2020 An entertaining war drama, nothing more or less. See more 06/19/2008 With hints of pro-army propaganda, this is a positive look at life in the army through a series of events in wartime Italy. It is more thought than gun for the most part, but the story never gets too deep, so it is quite ordinary. See more Read all reviews
