Additional InformationStandard WWII fantasyland fare as Holden grabs a thankless detail: create a fit commando troop from a gaggle of down-and-dirty Canadian and American misfits. Big-budget, big-screen treatment and curious assortment of stars doesn't add up to much, but choosing the the Italian Alps as a theatre of war is refreshing.

    One of the great war films

    A war film that will appeal to those who prefer a story solely concerned with war and no 'side' stories about wives and girlfriends etc. Great acting and amazing photography on a mountain, given the limited climbing equipment in the 1950's. The film must have been the inspiration for the later film "The Dirty Dozen", methinks. Excellent value for money.

    A solid 60s war movie

    A solid 60s war movie elevated by the scene in which the Canadians arrive at the camp, which has to be one of the greatest screen entrances of all time. Your dad would probably love falling asleep to it after Sunday dinner.

  • Excellent

    This is one of the best war movies I have watched and the cast are great also the fact that it was based on a true story makes it even better. Would recommend this to anyone without any hesitation.

  • Classic movie

    This movie is an all time classic war movie the likes of that are no longer made. I love older movies and this is one of my favourites.

  • Yes understood the brigde was based on a true special forces that was the first precursor to such specialist missions

    Really enjoyed it, no women actors really but it had a good theme and William Holden was good and so was his narration in it. The members of the original brigade died which is sad but their legend of their devilish cleverness did not but set the road to shape future special missions

  • There really was a Devil's Brigade and I think the members of it would be vastly disappointed with this film supposedly based on their exploits

    It was the same script as for many war films, lots about training, initial dislike of members of the team, later bonding finally the death of several leading characters. I have seen it all before.

  • Excellent war film, based on the 'Devils Brigade' of WWll.

    I saw this film several years ago and could not remember its name, accidentally found the clip of the CANUKS marching to the camp on youtube and the hunt began, very pleased with it.
