When Sgt. Saunders is forced to escort the reckless, annoying and snoopy photojournalist Eleanora Hunt to a no man's land nearby the Trois Anges, he saves her life from the attack of two German soldiers. On the next morning, she sneaks out from the American camping area with two French underground members to photograph the village. Lt. Hanley is assigned by Capt. Smith to go with Saunders and a squad to seek out Eleanora. When the villagers see the American war correspondent, they mistakenly believe their village has been liberated. Mme. Michelin, who has hidden Canadian paratroopers from the Germans, discloses the members of the French underground in Trois Anges in public. Lt. Hanley arrives at the village with the squad and Saunders invites Mme. Michelin and the other members to leave the place with them. However Mme. Michelin tells that there are no traitors in their village and they decide to stay. Sgt. Saunders suspects that the members of resistance are in danger and asks permission to return to check. What will he find?
"No Hallelujahs for Glory" is a depressing episode of "Combat!" from the very beginning. The soldiers in the cold and wet France waiting for a hot meal is a sad scene. The irresponsible Eleanora Hunt is an awful character and is quite hard to believe how she managed the powers that be to come to the front as war correspondent to disturb the stressed soldiers with her reckless attitudes and no consequences for her acts. Vic Morrow and Rick Jason have fantastic performances again and their chemistry is amazing. My vote is eight.
