A solid anti-militaristic print, although I sometimes found it tedious and even difficult to watch. Four French soldiers get lost in the Libyan desert and capture a German officer, with whom they gradually fraternize. The film mainly relies on fine, sometimes comical dialogues and a remarkably light-hearted tone. Also heavyweight Lino Ventura, a monumental actor of French cinema. The ending is surprising.

I'm not really convinced about this movie.

Although 4 enemies are cold-bloodedly shot down in the beginning, the majority of it proceeds as a kind of unwanted comedy. Do understand the filmmaker's intention: here we do not pay tribute to a heroic group of fighters, but to man in his unfamiliarity, with his "little" character traits, his ignorance, dropped into a war situation that becomes more and more dramatic. The final scene is significant: no interest in the parade and the glory after victory, but the realization that there is no place for all this in war.

Actors are fine.
