Pluskylang Great Film overall

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Kirpianuscus for me, as Romanian and admirer of Anthony Quinn, it remains a strange film. first for the sacrificed accuracy. then, for the Hollywood style. not the last, for a too simple portrait of a world who is mine. sure, many excuses are valuable. and the film is remains a remarkable title for filmography of actors, director, for a part of public. but... . its virtue is the remember of East. without a specific name because it could be Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria or Albania, Greece or Turkey, Hungary or Poland the motherland of the poor Moritz who is not more than version of Edmond Dantes, without revenge, without treasure. Virgil Gheorghiu is far to be a great writer and, maybe, this is the good thing for the film. because it could be used his novel for legitimate a image. fake in many points, naive in the others. but dramatic in comfortable manner. and this is all.

santasa99 One of the best anti-war films of all time !Maybe this movie isn't a masterpiece, yet, there is no doubt its one of the best, if not the best, anti-war films of all times. Also Antony gave us one of his best, as well as Virna Lisi. I sincerely recommends this anti-war satire in the best spirit of work of Henri Verneuil, the giant of the French cinema. As one person said in his comment: "Get it. See it. You will remember it." I couldn't agree more! For this is a timeless tale, told in a movie which after forty five years is still fresh and current.

Mehdi maral I watched this film early 70's.It is the best film I have ever watched And I will never forget it as long as I live. I hate wars. I hate wars. I hate wars. I wonder why we humans still let wars happen. Do you? Do you know why all these wars go on and on and on? innocent people get killed, even today, for stupid and unreal rezone ?

marinaw-1 I was wrapped to see many other people also enjoyed this film. First watched it when I was in my early teens and then again several times late at night a few times after. Then sadly, no more. I'm now nearly 49 and so wish it could be made available on DVD. Why not? The best Anthony Quinn role, no one could have been more suited for the part or parts he plays - I've mentioned it to other film buffs of similar age and alas, no one I know recalls it. As the daughter of a generation that went through WWII and its aftermath (and myself deeply fascinated by what that generation endured) I guess this film at the time gave me a wonderful cinematic insight into some of the heartbreaking issues of the day. For classic final scenes this movie is a stand out.
