It attacks its subject with praiseworthy vigor and directness. It leaves utterly nothing to the imagination... In the strictest sense of the word, it is not entertainment.

An unheralded near-masterpiece, The Eagle and the Hawk is among the strongest antiwar statements put on film.

Oct 23, 2008

Wow what a great film. I've never heard of this film and they premired it on TCM the other day and what a treat. The acting is great all around(Oakie,Lombard,and one of Grant's first films) with Fredric March as a standout. The look of the film is great and they mix WW1 documentery footage that works really well. Great story and dialogue with a fantastic ending. One of the best war films of it's time, it's real hidden Gem.
