Attack

Robert Aldrich (director)
James Poe (screenwriter)
Norman Brooks (play)

Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1956. Vintage studio still photograph from the 1956 film.

Based on the 1954 play, "Fragile Fox" by Norman Brooks. One of Aldrich's finest efforts, a noirish take on the evils of war, with an interesting focus on nepotism. Unpopular on release due to its grim ending and cynical tone, much the opposite of a flag-waving World War II film.

Set in Belgium.

10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with some creasing at the corners.
