Army platoon makes a beach landing in Italy during WWII. Their mission is to march six miles inland and blow up a bridge. Along the way they talk, talk, talk and encounter a few Germans. The fine ensemble cast, led by Dana Andrews, is allowed plenty of room to chew the scenery as they deal with the horrors of war, including their own possible death. Milestone was a pioneer in the war genre, and while this is good it is far from his best.
