Review of Between Heaven and Hell (1956) by Alexandre S — 17 Nov 2010
Not very good, and sometimes very boring tale of one man's story of the war, and how he got there. Told partially through flash-back (his whole cotton industrialist past is fully explained, for what reasons heaven only knows) and the reason he was demoted during the war are fully explained before we get to the main part of the story.
By the time that starts rolling around though, I didn't really seem to care, as all the flashbacks did was to tell almost a complete story, and the rest of the story it seems, is padding material to get to the 90 minute mark.
The acting here is ok, Robert Wagner, never a huge star, just strolls through this one, and is easily overshadowed by one Broderick Crawford, giving all he's got as a captain of a army base full of soldier castouts.
That's all I can reccomend for this movie though.
