After achieving enormous success with The Guns of Navarone, celebrated screenwriter and producer Foreman made his only directorial effort with this star-studded WWII action extravaganza. The story follows the lives of a single squadron of American soldiers in Europe, from 1940 Britain to 1945 Berlin. Foreman keeps the episodic, multi-character structure consistently compelling, providing his actors with many opportunities to shine.
