Telly Savalas, still fresh from the hit "The Dirty Dozen", dominates the screen as a French resistance fighter, memorably introduced playing with a little marionette, in a photogenic segment set in a small French town. Vic has the week off, so Rick is leading the squad, setting up an Observation Point in a church tower. John Van Dreelen leads a squad of German soldiers also headed for the tower, where Savalas is already ensconced, and he's a bit crazy -intent on fighting off both warring armies.
Oddball segment veers into Telly's fantasies as he recalls (and we see dramatized on screen) happier times with his British wife, played by beautiful Anne Wakefield (in her final screen appearance). But he's brought back to reality by the noise of the Germans fighting the Americans on the streets below his tower.
The combination of fanciful sentimentality with the brutality of war doesn't come off well.
