2. What a great movie.
The first time I saw it I stared at the TV screen for 5 minutes after I turned it off trying to make sense of what I just saw. Too bad we don't get TCM in Canada.

4. Be sure to be alert to the final scene.
That was worth my buying the DVD. The anti-war theme, although in accord with my own beliefs, might have been a little overdrawn. But just the recollection of that beer-hall scene, still moves me.

(There are similar scenes in "Spartacus" and "Shoes of the Fisherman" that will live with me forever).
