Like PeaceAnarchy said, not much to complain about but unremarkable on the whole.

a lengthy, but generally satisfying movie with easily apparent quality control errors although those are also easily ignored for some dated, but relevant war/action.

Solid and entertaining, if a little unremarkable. The story's fine though the film could be paced much faster without losing anything, which would increase the tension. Everything else is ok too, not a lot of depth but nothing much to complain about.

Hasn't aged well. The final 20 minutes are great but most of the time it's so slow and badly staged that it makes 'Where Eagles Dare' feel like 'Saving Private Ryan'.

Really well made and performed war adventure. A Sunday afternoon type film.

Really more an adventure film than a serious war film. But it's pretty solid adventure. The action scenes are well crafted, and there's a nice ebb and flow of tension in the script. Peck is wooden as ever, but David Niven is a lot of fun and Anthony Quinn's got some chops too. I also have to applaud the Tiompkin score, appropriately epic-sounding without being too bombastic. The character moments feel very constructed, but it's of little concern. Good quality entertainment without much depth.

Very Good

Great--except for the part when Gregory Peck goes postal toward the end. You'll never question why he's so wooden all the time ever again.
