Summary: A metaphor for the war which would divide 1960s America
Comment: I recall seeing this film as a child and then later on DVD while working at an Aid Station in Diyala Province (FOB Warhorse). I've always viewed this film as somewhat of a backdoor critique of Viet Nam. As others have noted, production on this film was completed in '65. This would have been well before a broad cross-section of America came to see the war in SE Asia as futile and unwinnable by the restrictions placed on our forces there. But I nonetheless believe that the film was Hollywood's metaphor about having to take sides even when you dont wish to in actual shooting wars or in no less fiery "culture wars". How did audiences in Selma or Montgomery or Atlanta react to the sight of the young freed slave in the heat of an assault pausing to recognize his old friend and NOT bayoneting him?
Historical inaccuracies in this film will be pointed out by gleeful "gotcha!" purists, as they've done above. Weapons are anachronistic, to say the least.
Stewart shines and saves what might have otherwise been a mediocre film
