THE LEGION OF NO RETURN is a stock Italian/Spanish WW2 picture about a squad of American soldiers who are parachuted into enemy territory in order to blow up a bridge that they can't allow falling into the hands of the enemy in the dying days of the war. Tab Hunter is the grizzled former Hollywood star, now playing the lead in a European war flick. I've seen a lot of similar productions like this and this is one of the cheapest, telling the story in a boring and long-winded way. Nothing happens for the whole first half of the film while the battle sequences in the second half are resolutely small scale and lacking in both variety and imagination. The most interesting thing about this film is that it was directed by the great Leon Klimovsky, later to find his steam with a series of stunning Paul Naschy horror flicks.
