Critic Reviews for Battle Cry
All Critics (4) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (1)
Benefiting from a great cast (Van Heflin, Aldo Ray, James Whitemore), Raoul Walsh's WWII actioner is one of the most commercially popular war movies ever made.

More a soap opera story of wartime romances than an action war film.
