Rating:  - Gritty War Movie
Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake

Shortly thereafter, along with soldiers Peter Falk and Reni Santoni, he discovers that the Germans were unprepared for this invasion, and that the road to Rome is completely clear.

Rating: - AVERAGE WWII HOLLYWOOD POT BOILER
The worst thing about this movie for me was the dreadful song that accompanies the screen credits at movie's beginning. Everything moved up a notch from there.
Great movie this is not, great history either. But some things do stand out in this WWII drama: the sniper episode near movie's end as other reviewers mention, the starkness of some scenes is very reminicent of BIG RED ONE and even BATTLE OF THE BULGE, but one that leaves good impressions is the actual battle footage, ...

Rating: - Entertaining + Suspenseful snipering scenes + rushed to ending = Worth watching
The best thing about this movie is the sniper scene in which 4 out 7 US solders were killed. It's suspenseful, exciting and entertaining. It's also touching when it showed who surrended only to be killed in revenge.
What I don't like is the ending. It seemed the director rushed to the ending. Because of that, the film failed to depict the intensity and great suffering of 5,000 Americans and British who were injured and killed in the fighting. It's worth watching once.

Rating: - Large scale reconstruction of key battle
This is a lavish Italian -American co-production tracing the Allied landings on Anzio Beach ,Italy and the consequent long ,bloody and costly advance on Rome .It is mainly seen through the eyes of an American war correspondent "Dick Ennis"-Robert Mitchum giving an assured ,idiosyncratic performance .
The movie is grievously hampered by a quite dreadful script -hang your head in shame Harry AL Craig -which indulges in enough windy,verbose and pompous,sententious sermonising to put even Al Bore (the ... Read More
Rating:  - i loved this movie as a kid , but it really doesn't hold up well
when i was young i loved this movie and can remember watching it. sadly it has not stood the test of time very well. the history of the movie is very far from fact and the whole cast looks like they want to get as far away from the screen as they can. to make it worse the battle scenes are just ok not great like a movie like this needs,and that just makes this all the more a reason to avoid this one.
