I had the pleasure to view this film for the first time last night on TCM. This film left me with watery eyes and images that I have reviewed in my mind long after the film ended. The acting of all the cast members was A quality. The closed in space that the performers displayed their numerous emotions throughout the film was A quality. The horror of civilian and military life in conditions portrayed in the film A quality. The one common factor under all the human dynamics was Fear. Fear on so many levels. Why this play only lasted just a very short time is not clear, but Mr. Kenwood's play is excellent on film. The film So Proudly We Hail that has been written about I have not seen so I cannot compare, but it is on my list of films to try and see.
