Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1956. Vintage studio still photograph of director Robert Aldrich on the set of the 1956 film, one of only a handful of war films made in the noir style during the classic era.

One of Aldrich's finest efforts, a noirish take on the evils of war, with a interesting focus on nepotism. Unpopular on release due to a grim ending and a cynical tone, much the opposite of a flag-waving World War II film.

Set in Belgium.

10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
