Ernie Pyle, correspondant de guerre, rejoint une unité d'infanterie en Afrique du Nord durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En se rapprochant d'eux, il va centrer ses articles sur les hommes derrière les soldats. L'un des films de guerre les plus réalistes jamais produits par Hollywood. (Action Cinémas/Théâtre du Temple)
Critiques (1)
A truly unknown, but nevertheless excellent war film. It's not about battles (not that they aren't there) or who is fighting against whom, but simply about people. Burgess Meredith acts well, but his Ernie Pyle is just primarily a reporter who sees it all, nothing more, nothing less. The attention is thus drawn to Robert Mitchum and various gradually pointed stories, such as the one with the gramophone. "How old are you, Ernie?" - "Forty-three." - "I'm twenty-six. If I had known that I would live to be forty-three, I would not have been worried about the war." - "As you like. I'm worried about living to forty-four."
