Pas de pitié pour les héros

Competent war film for its time. The story is OK though pretty generic.

Palance puts in his usual performance of sneering, preening and making weird faces at the camera, rasping out the dialogue.

However... this movie has one serious flaw that should have been foreseen from the very beginning...

The major drawback is that the helmets all look like they are made of clay of something. The sight of Jack Palance running around a war zone with a massive piece of pottery on his head is one of the funniest sights i have ever seen. It ruins (or makes) the movie, depending on your perspective.
