Great movie!
Steve McQueen shone under the presence of the great Jackie Gleason whenever the two shared screen time. The fight scene in the bar in the latter half of the film where the two off duty MP's were ganging up on Sgt. Eustis Clay (McQueen) while he was in mourning, was pitiful. Just when the audience felt that Sgt. Eustis Clay was down and out and about to get his head bashed in by these two (2) creeps in walks a bull of a man in MSgt. Maxwell Slaughter (Jackie Gleason) and he tosses the two bullies aound like rag dolls giving Sgt. Eustis Clay an opportunity to come out of his daze to beat the the living crap out of these two MP creeps. I wanted to kick these two guys myself because the fight scene and what lead up to this situation was inevitable.
This is a story about life in general and playing with the cards God has dealt us all. It is a story about two men, Sgt. Eustis Clay and MSgt. Maxwell Slaughter and how they come to terms in realizing how much they can help one another to become better men.
It's a great film with a lot of heart and soul, worthy of an 8 out of 10 rating.
