Officially a comedy, but B&W, during actual war so people die left and right, not terrible equipment accuracy (ours and theirs) for a late-50s war movie (not perfect by far though), and most of all... a solid dramatic message under it.
Sacrifice, of not just life but reputation. Doing the right thing, and seriously risking death, where going in - the whole point - is to not get any recognition or reward for it.
Only slightly spoiled by "It's A Comedy!" titles and funny intro music, and very low budget. Not enough soldiers, by far not enough enemy, etc. I think this would work well as a remake to cover those issues and present it again for a new generation since t's been forgotten, so someone get on it.
