The film is based on a play by Norman Brooks, The Fragile Fox. It is about a captain Eddie Albert whose wrong actions are taken to heart by his officers. He does not know that Jack Palance has a conspiracy to kill himself.
One of Robert Aldrich's best films, this dark, grim, cynical portrait of infantry warfare in 1944 Belgium is extremely well acted by Jack Palance, Lee Marvin, Eddie Albert and the rest of the male cast.
Aldrich conduz com segurança a tensão crescente da narrativa, e conta, ainda, com a forte presença de Palance. Os únicos problemas residem nos prolixos minutos finais e no personagem de Albert, que acaba se tornando muito caricatural.
