The Victors Movie Review 1963

Anti-war drama follows Allied soldiers in Europe in the waning days of the war. The men's romantic endeavors with European women are intercut with images of the common brutality and chaos of war. The young ensemble cast, most of whom went on to stardom, do an excellent job, but the material gets a little heavy-handed at times. From the Alexander Baron novel "The Human Kind."
