Considering the story and the excellent cast, it's a strangely flat war film that just doesn't seem to get exciting, except for a few scenes. The acting is also poor. With the exception of an excellent Silvana Mangano and an adequate Jeanne Moreau, everyone falls short of their potential. Disappointing.

it is not a top film but the original story deserves praise I think, Barbara Bel Geddes her face already looked familiar to me (most people over 50 will know her from Dallas) she plays a relatively small supporting role here.
The film encyclopedia (the last edition I still have) calls this an overambitious production and gives the film only 2 stars
the film also wants to focus on the moral issues at one point, including the dehumanization of the partisans, a valiant attempt but it fails to really delve into it in depth.
Once again, the film is not a great one, but it is certainly not bad either. The only thing you can say about it is that the ending could have been better.
