Whoever wrote the story and screenplay for this film?? A very young Richard Burton seemed out of place and certainly Curt Jurgens was miscast as well as Ruth Roman..and Nigel Green who is always so serious in his subsequent roles but here..though very young, so different ..almost wacky..I couldn't get used to anyone in this film. One star!!!

Well, this is a movie, and there is a war in the background there somewhere, but this isn't a war movie, so don't rent it for that. It's the most boring war movie ever made, and a complete waste of Richard Burton's talents. There's a bogus love triangle that has overtones of Casablanca, and then there's 2 officers battling it out for command, and then a lot of trekking through the desert, and then someone dies - and then, well, by then you don't really care how it turns out. This is sort of a cross between a wanna-be Rat Patrol and the Dirty Dozen with everyone sleep-walking through their roles.

Nice war movie showing the friction between a lifer and a volunteer.
