Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Tinpot death-or-glory war film, peopled by theatrical characters spouting trite dialogue against unconvincing backgrounds."[4]

TV Guide called the film "a predictable type of war drama that went out of fashion in the US ten years before this was made, but probably will always be resurrected in a nation that suffered so much at the time."[5]
