Looks a lot like the American documentaries made at the time of the war in Europe, with reconstructed battles fought in rubble from bombardment, but deliberately less bloody that it really was. Some of the Americans appear cartoonish, especially the GI who has his boots stolen by a street kid in Naples, and some of the scenes seem suitable for a melodrama. Not for the weak of stomach.
