    Review by Joe Clemons ★★★

    A pretty good drama/war film extremely long but diffident than your usual one sided movie about how awesome Americans are and how evil the the Nazis.

    "Three soldiers are followed through the course of WW2 - two Americans and one German - and their changing views of the war are shown. The film shows the main German character (played by Brando) in a surprisingly sympathetic manner, considering that it was so near to the end of the war. Thought-provoking."
