Featured review
love and war
It's been tough fighting in Italy. Sgt. John 'Pete' Peterson (William Holden) and his men are getting pulled out for five days after a terrible battle. He meets WAC Lt. Eleanor MacKay (Nancy Olson). Maj. Blackford (Frank Lovejoy) has a battlefield commission for him. He gets closer to Lt. MacKay and soon has to go back to the front.
This movie is divided between love and war. The love part has a melodramatic romance with some limited heat. She's a good girl on the rebound from a trauma. He's been in the thick of it. The romance is rather old fashion. The war part has some functional battles with a mix of real and staged footage. The fighting is somewhat realistic with many friendlies killed.
