Hell Is for Heroes (1962)



Small squad must hold off German attack.

Tightly directed, tough war drama with good cast doesn't really add much to the genre, but is quite watchable.

Halliwell*: "Fairly routine anti-war film with a strong cast and effectively-directed moments battling a generally artificial look."

Maltin***: "Tough, taut WW2 film...Takes its time getting started but builds in intensity to a riveting climax. Only incongruous note: young Newhart, who even interpolates a variation on one of his telephone monologues into the story!"
