“Generally acknowledged as one of the most mature, compassionate films to come out of World War II, Lewis Milestone's A Walk in the Sun follows a veteran combat platoon through a single morning - the morning of the Salerno landing in 1943 - from the beachhead to the capture of a German-held farmhouse six miles away. Robert Rossen's quietly poetic screenplay spins a folkloric parable of combat, supported by splendid ensemble acting from Dana Andrews, Lloyd Bridges, John Ireland, and a strong, all-male cast, performing at the peak of their forms. A Walk in the Sun is a masterpiece of atmosphere, tension, and high, human drama.” --Michael Goodwin
