Powerful anti-war drama, brilliantly atmospheric.

The wholesome film speaks volumes for Ford's talent, but the overwhelming sentimentality drowns it in false poignancy.

It's a different kind of film John Ford and it shows. He doesn't seem like he is comfortable with it and it shows. It's a real dull film.
