Guy Madison stars as Capt. Jack Murphey who leads a small command of troops who land on Normandy beach early as the original date has been pushed back and he was not notified in time.
Their time proves to be very well spent as they meet up with a beautiful woman named Denise (Erika Blanc) who protects the soldiers at all costs and she falls for a youg Lt. named Stobel (Peter Lee Lawrence).
This is a really good film that moves along at breakneck speed and never makes you lose your interest. I would love to see a remastered edition of this movie, but that's not too likely.
Guy Madison made his Italian film debut with this and went on to do many, many more movies there. My main attraction to watching this was, of course, Erika Blanc. She is my red headed Euro Goddess. She wears no exotic costumes in this....just regular clothes and yet she still manages to be a huge turn on.
The movie ends on a down beat message, but that is the realism of war. If you are a fan of WW2 films I think it's worth your time to hunt this one down.
Very well done.
