Harshly X-rated when originally released though probably due to the then unavailabilty of the 'AA' certificate. Entertaining thick-eared stuff with a fine Gerald Fried score.

After Cross Of Iron and Attack!, Too Late The Hero is my favourite WWII film...so my third favourite...you get what I mean!
