It makes me recall the movie ATTACK! (directed by Robert
Aldrich of KISS ME, DEADLY, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?,
etc, fame) a sort of noir/war movie - more noir than war,
really. IIRC, although it's set during the Battle of the
Bulge in WWII we don't see a single German. The scene is a
group (platoon?) of US soldiers holed up in a bombed out
basement, led by a cowardly officer (played by Eddie "Green
Acres" Albert) who is responsible for the deaths of many
(most?) of the soldiers under his command. Very intense, vary
claustrophobic & features Jack Palance, a favourite actor
of mine. I saw this on late-night TV at 3am when I was 16
years old & "it really blew me out", as I would have said
in those days. At least, I'm pretty sure it was the movie
that blew me out. I haven't seen it since but I'm always on
the look out - it's a dark mother of a movie.
