This film does capture the negativity of war! It's wonderful to see William Holden play a part where he may not be the most lovable man in the world. It's just as rewarding to see Deborah Kerr as a woman of great beauty and sexuality! I think the acting of all the cast is wonderful! The acting of the chaplain maybe a little over the top( just my opinion.) I wasn't going to watch this film all the way through, however; once I got into it I got hooked!! It is a sad film! But I can't say that any movie about war is to make a person happy!! It is about loss, but there is also some redeeming qualities in the characters. Especially at the end!!!

This is a movie that does hide reality!! This film gives us the harsh truth about obstacles and choices we make! Their is no hero! It one of the best movies I have seen about relationships! This includes drug use, horrendous men who can kill without remorse. This movie shows real fear!!! There is a family member who truly has a sense of duty ( which at times could cost him his life! ) It's shows a family can still come together and display caring for each other!!! Fonda give an outstanding performance.
