Plot
Storyline
While holed-up in a bombed-out, rainy Italian city in WW2, Sergeant Joe Mooney is ordered by the company commander to fall back with his squad rather than rescuing a comrade trapped in a watery shell hole by a German machine-gunner.
Stanley Kramer's WWII character study has Lee Marvin as the Sergeant of a small squad laid over during fighting in Italy. During the otherwise boring time between battles, tensions arise as they are ordered not to rescue a squadmate pinned down by the enemy, for fear of risking more lives. Based on the stage play "A Sound of Hunting" by Harry Brown.
