Glenn Ford and Ernest Borgnine do well in this 1958 drama, but the writing is limited.
Ford has an ultimate personal decision to make. We have seen in the tradition of 1982's "Sophie's Choice." I'm talking about the power of life and death here.
The crew is limited here with their usual talk about the opposite sex.
Borgnine, as Ford's best friend and assistant, is most supportive here which is heart rendering.
Philip Ober is appealing as an understanding general. The brief use of flashbacks here is effective as Ford knew what was coming and wanted his wife to flee with their baby daughter.
