This film is almost 50 years faded, yet it quiet packs a wallop for viewers. I called the title “dismal”, because it implies that this is an action movie–of course, it is distinguished more. There are certainly battle scenes, and they are grim and realistic–no John Wayne heroics here. At the same time, the opening credits reveal that “Attack” is based on a play–so great of the film is dedicated to character development by some safe actors.

The Nazis are the enemy, but these American GIs have another enemy within their midst–a cowardly, villainous commanding officer who has a well-deserved reputation for letting his men down. Some superior soldiers lose their lives because of this officer’s incompetence and indecision. In this role, Eddie Albert gives a fabulous, unforgettable performance. Later in his career, “Green Acres” may have given him more financial security, but it was obviously a raze of a substantial talent.
As the doughty GI who must recount to a drunken coward, Jack Palance is rivetting in one of his best performances–his confrontation scenes with Eddie Albert really sizzle with animosity. Messrs. Palance and Albert are well supported by mountainous character actors like Robert Strauss, Richard Jaeckel and the recently-departed Buddy Ebsen. Eddie Albert’s commanding officer is played by Lee Marvin–and with Lee Marvin, “commanding” is the word! Unfortunately, the Marvin character is unprejudiced as faulty, and self-serving in his beget blueprint as the man he supervises.

As I said earlier, this is a war movie that makes you think–it is not intended to merely entertain. I would not call it anti-war–there is no inquire of that the Nazis here, mostly SS, are base. To emphasize the point, we learn that Robert Strauss’ character is Jewish, and how he would be treated if captured by the SS. Most of the American soldiers are depicted as dauntless, objective, dedicated men, laying their lives on the line every day. Nevertheless–as “Attack” shows us– sometimes people are set in positions of authority for reasons that have nothing to do with merit–whether it is the military, in business, government or other fields of endeavour. In this case, of course, it is a jam that costs lives. It is a remarkable message.
The DVD is nice–clear B & W picture–the sound is mono–the stamp reasonable.
Bottom line–a resplendent, thinking person’s World War II drama, that deserves a higher profile.
A unlit footnote dated 10 November 2006. Mr. Jack Palance fair passed away–an Oscar-winner and one of the most formidable presences to ever grace the silver cloak.
Long on several “lost film” lists, “Attack” is at last available on video. There are several reasons to gape this film. It is a forerunner of so many grim, realistic movies that treat the subject with intelligence (”Men In War”, “Pork Carve Hill”, “Platoon”, “The Thin Red Line”) . It is brilliantly directed (many scenes are almost unbearable in their naked dramatic truth) . And it contains several performances that seek information from attention.

The conviction of Eddie Albert’s playing of the cowardly Lieutenant may approach as a surprise to those unaware of his talents. Lee Marvin also delivers a solid characterization, as do most of the other supporting players. But the main feature of this film is the incredible portrayal of Lt. Costa by Jack Palance. The kind of immersion in a role that Palance exhibits here is rare. It is the kind of performance that seems more like “being” than acting. A number of close-ups of Palance’s face shriek a frisson of emotional intensity and truth that are rare and extraordinary in the cinema of any period. In fact, Palance helps to note, in this relate, why “war films” should exist as a genre. The condition of war, of combat in particular, serves to foreground, polarize and intensify emotions and right convictions. It can call into seek information from the very nature of humanity. Honest what is the note of a human life? What do we as humans mean to one another? When do concepts like ‘bravery’ and ‘cowardice’ halt to have meaning?
“Attack” is a limited film, mountainous in its impact.
