It is the best movie from my childhood. I love the 1950s and thats family movies. Burt Lancaster is one of the greatest movie stars and he plays perfect in this family action movie. He was (is) my Idol and of course Virginia Mayo is beautiful, soft and romantic and I love her too. Nick Cravat has always been one of my favorites. The Manus script is very good when we think about the replies and words. There is not a moment of dead, boring time in the hole movie's duration. Italian People like each other and fight together against the occupation force. It is a light family action with love, sympathy and honor. So I'm very glad now when I can watch this film again with DVD quality. I miss these great and lovely Stars very much.
