John Kettler Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 For a truly surreal experience, try watching this great Anthony Quinn film in English, with him and his men (except Alain Delon, who is French) as the French, with German information placards! George Segal plays the Algerian guerilla leader. The early part has some great reconstructions of DBP trenches and such. MAT 49 SMGs in considerable evidence, along with lots of French uniforms. Following a cakewalk three month captivity (uh huh), action shifts to Algeria. Since LLF has put together the French cammies so nicely, it seems a reasonable idea to port them to Algeria (spectacular scenery and topography) for the guerilla war there. Anyone know how to turn a helmet into a camouflaged tropical cap in the same scheme as the cammies? Erwin may well be seen turning cartwheels, given the worn, dusty, sun bleached uniforms and badges. No shop varnish here! But there are portable barb wire obstacles. The first few seconds after the titles on this trailer cover DBP. Oh, and there's someone named Claudia Cardinale in the film, too.
