Director Edward Dmytryk's sprawling, ambitious WWII drama, based on the acclaimed Irwin Shaw novel, stars Marlon Brando as Christian, a German ski instructor who idealistically joins Hitler's army, fights in the North African desert, and gradually loses faith in his country and humanity in general. Parallel stories take place across the Atlantic, as a tipsy Broadway star (Dean Martin) wrestles with his conscience and cowardice, since his connections keep him out of the draft. Another thread follows sensitive Jewish draftee Noah (Montgomery Clift) as he encounters anti-Semitism both from his fellow G.I.s and the parents of the girl he loves (Hope Lange). Eventually, all three men meet near the end of the war in the most tragic circumstances. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

Character driven (anti-)war drama dominated unconventionally by the excellent Brando. The attitude to war is captivating in his performance. The American moments are just ordinary and nothing we haven’t already seen elsewhere. The ending doesn’t really fit with the overall mood in the movie and certainly it could have made a bigger impact with a little more effort. Even so, it’s worth seeing.
