1951 · 99 min · War, Romance, Drama
During the winter of 1943, the German Army halted the American advance in the mountains of Italy; back-and-forth combat decimates Joe Peterson's platoon. On leave in Naples, Joe meets WAC lieutenant Eleanor MacKay; initially cool, she begins to melt during a bombing raid. Their romance develops despite Joe's periodic returns to the front. But whether he'll come back in the end becomes more than doubtful.
Directed by Michael Curtiz. Starring William Holden, Nancy Olson, Frank Lovejoy, Gene Evans and Katherine Warren.
