Viewing Notes

A fun, though dated in terms of the politics it represents, Sam Fuller war film between two more serious dramas for a day of Imprint films. I love Lee Van Cleef’s death scene. It’s the closest I’ve come to the same reaction I had to the back seat pistol shot death scene in PULP FICTION!
