Movie Info

Robert Wagner stars as insensitive Southern landowner who gets a much-overdue dose of humility and democracy when he's drafted into the army. Unable to curb his arrogance, Wagner runs afoul of a sadistic military officer (Broderick Crawford), who makes it his mission in life to break the recalcitrant recruit. After rescuing a fellow soldier (Buddy Ebsen), Wagner discovers he has the inner strength to change his outlook on life, and to stand up to the vicious Crawford. Based on a novel by Francis

Entertaining but not too believable psychological war drama.

A damn good movie, one that looks at this infamous war through the eyes of one gradually enlightened aristocrat.

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL (1956)

Rather ordinary war film, nothing distinguishing about it. Typical of it's time. Robert Wagner never could act. Melodramatic at times. I did think the score was good though.
