Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fonda has been better.
An early Fonda Film set in North Africa during WWII. Hank plays one of several
British Tommys fighting the nasty nazis. It is an interesting mixture of
blatent flag waiving (that is not a bad thing) typical B grade propaganda
effort (that is a bad thing) and Mr. Fonda trying hard but not quite succeding, to
put fortha performance the equal of his co-stars. I liked the film mainly because
it is a classic example of WWII propaganda. Could have taken place ... Read More
Rating: - Poignant and reverential wartime drama
Henry Fonda stars as timid Canadian writer Colin Spence who enlists in the British Army during World War II. Living in London, becomes inspired to join the war effort leaving behind his girlfriend Valentine played by Maureen O'Hara to the amorous advances of love rival and journalist Joe Benedict played by a dapper Reginald Gardiner. Interestingly Fonda completed the filming of the movie just prior to the commencement his own wartime service,

Rating: - Another great old war flick
I really liked the movie. I had never seen it prior to this. I bought it, only because I happen to like old B&W movies. This is a great classic that everyone should see.
Rating:  - Immortal Sergeant
First saw this movie on TV in the early 1960s and have always liked it since. Good character studies and insights into leadership. As with all war movies made during WWII, it has some propaganda included but in general, holds up pretty well.
Action takes place in Libya probably in Feb/Mar 1941 just as the Germans are arriving in Africa. Flashbacks during the main plot reveal how we got to where we are.
Rating: - Combat War Movie
It was interesting seeing Henry Fonda in Immortal Sergeant. He was young when he played the part of this combat soldier in this movie. I know years later he played in other war movies like Battle of the Bulge and Midway.
