Jack H Strange movie. The changes to different story lines (and there were lots of them) could not have been more clunky. Brando's performance caused me to re evaluate his legacy, and not in a good way. Clift was not much better. His choice for this character would have to be one of the worst actor choices ever. He was not believable in this part. Cringeworthy acting. The male leads made Dean Martin's performance look fantastic, by comparison. The camera work was terrible at times. There were scenes when we were looking at the back of far too many people's heads. The river scene looked like it was shot in someone's swimming pool. Some people seem to like the movie. I don't get it. I was laughing at some scenes. Brando's death scene was so bad , that is was good. Some of the dialogue so terrible. The office scenes in the concerntration camp was unbelievable. It would be one of the worst films I have ever seen. But it is like watching a trainwreck. Once seen, never forgotten. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review David C Definitely worth watching for Brando and Clift. Martin was okay, he was cast in the right role for him. Unfortunately, his acting abilities just not in the same league as Brando and Clift. They bring all kinds of subtleties that you can see and feel but would be difficult to put into words. That's artistry. Martin was just "behaving" not really acting. Clift and Brando add to the lines thoughts and feelings we can see in their faces and movements. That's what put them in a special category: genius. Great combat scenes especially Brando and Schell who were comparable talents. Good direction. Long but few scenes you would want to cut. Good storytelling. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Alan g Dean Martins comeback role. He is better than Clift or Brando. Why did they need a happy ending? The book has a much more distressing ending. It would have made an even better film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Rosana B Um ótimo filme de guerra, com pouca ação, os grandes acontecimentos da guerra, tornam-se apenas diálogos na boca dos personagens, o que não tira o mérito do filme, um belo roteiro, baseado num livro estupendo (provavelmente) principalmente pelo alemão não ser um personagem simpático, ''não havendo nenhuma diferença moral perceptível entre um alemão e dois americanos" Marlon Brando, se não fosse tão repugnante (por O último tango) teria sido um eterno galã… Um bom filme, poderiam colorizá-lo. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Steve D Ok war film not quite as good as its cast. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Ernie K Although it occasionally drags within its episodic framework, the stellar acting of Brando, Clift, and Martin carries the day with a memorable nexus of story lines and characters at the film's conclusion. This film may not be the most memorable of Brando's or Clift's careers, but it tells a great story through several socially important threads and is worthwhile entertainment to boot. All the leads and supporting efforts are very good, with a surprisingly believable turn by Martin that keeps quality pace with his more famous co-stars.
