Hell is for Heroes
(1962)
Directed by Don Siegel
this film stars Steve McQueen, Bobby Darin and Fess Parker. A small
group of American soldiers are left to defend a long stretch of the
front during World War 2.
The plot of this film
is a fairly standard tale of war weary soldiers towards the end of
the war with some anti war sentiments that are expressed in a number
of similar films. Despite reported budget problems the film does not
look too bad, being in black and white certainly helps for the large
amount of night scenes. As always Steve McQueen is a good performance
in the central role and James Coburn has a supporting role.
3/5
