Synopsis
This action-packed war film follows the adventures of a group of paratroopers in the French army. Leading the soldiers is Pierre Raspeguy (Anthony Quinn), a tough peasant who has risen through the ranks to become a lieutenant colonel. The troop first heads off to Indochina, where French forces suffer a big defeat at Dien Bien Phu. Soon, the men are sent off to Algeria, whose citizens are waging a fierce guerrilla war against French rule. Not all of the servicemen, however, support their country's decisions -- including Algerian-born Mahidi (George Segal), who deserts his comrades after his parents are murdered during the fighting.

3.0 out of 5 stars topic wars of decolonization, 3 Jun 2008

By	Carlos Vazquez Quintana "cvq" (Linares- Spain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a war film plenty of topics very own of a past time when nobody didn't knew what should become the independence of ancient colonies of Europe countries. Colonel Raspeguy is a typical unorthodox military who has learned to make real war in real combat. Summing up a figure very common in cinema but I'm afraid very unusual in real military professionals. Scenes of action are good, not as realistic as in today movies, but understandable and sufficient. So the movie sounds routine, but there are some points that make this a little different.
The first is there are many screen stars from these years: Michele Morgan, still a beauty, Alain Delon, Anthony Quinn, Maurice Ronet, Claudia Cardinale...
Secondly, it deals with two wars little times seen in movies: Indochine and Dien - Bien- Phu before the USA intervention, were the mean troops were French, but many were ex combatants from Spanish Civil War, German ex- nazis, adventurers, etc. Vietnamites are treated as in general as idiots, as usual in the cinema from these decade, but there are the personage of Mahidi (George Segal), the Argeline parachutist destined to fight later against his friends of the past.
Thirdly, the main personage played by Quinn is too stereotyped, but there are Boisfeuras, the though captain played by Maurice Ronet, a man who after Indochine has a good civil work in France, but prefer the war in the way of a truly fascist who resource to torture if necessary.
In the opposite side is Esclavier, the journalist played by Alain Delon, capable also to fight, but with moral scruples and which understands decolonization of Algerie is unstoppable and regrets the cruel methods the French parachute troops execute on the ground, including vengeance. The women in this movie are, as in the cinema from these years, only decorative figures.
Summing up, a war movie with some touch of critics, not comparable by far to "Battle of Algiers" by Costa Gavras, but with good action scenes and not current at these times when Vietnam War was still rising with many years ahead to finish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lost Command, 13 April 2006

By	J. Cole (Falmouth, Cornwall United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

From French Vietnam to pre revolutionary Algeria a realistic war scenario. The French Para's with The Mighty Quinn as their Colonel backed by Alain Delon and George Segal . No Anthony Quinn fan could ask for anything more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A old classic, 23 April 2009

By	Empe (Italy) - See all my reviews

Dirty war in Algerie (aftermath of Indocina's French disfact). A good film, with a good cast and some good action scenes. As the recent and similar Intimate Enemies is an "exotic" war movie, with French Par� against local guerrilla. Now, You can see the old version, the new version and the classic realistic or "political version" of Pontecorvo.
In my opinion, three good movies, but I prefer this old classic.
