Una agradable sorpresa toparse con estos clásicos del género bélico con tan buenos actores que ahora son de culto. Simplemente genial la trama ahí expuesta. Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.

This film and all those actors who portrayed such heroism of that time leaves me speechless. They fought for everyone's freedom. They fought hoping they would get home again but knowing, in the heat of those battles, they probably wouldn't. Thank you for sharing this outstanding film.

Saw this at The Odeon Cinema, East Ham with my Dad in 1959, at the end, the audience stood up and applauded, they were the days that everyone stood for the national anthem after the film.

More people would stand today if we were still a champion of what is right and not a bully that demands you do as I say or else. Hey, let's turn NATO into a protection racket. People have caught on, at home and internationally, thanks to the information age. That genii will never go back in the bottle.

I agree with the other comments about colorized movies. Aside from the overtones,all films shot in black and white were composed cinematographically in black and white and are best viewed as such.

A great old-school British war film. The military procedure is reasonably authentic for a feature film too (many of the audience and actors had probably actually served in WW2). They keep having to re-net the radio set regularly, they use bayonets at night instead of opening fire in the darkness and their fighting positions are well sited on the reverse of that slope. Nice to see a Bren No.1 and No. 2 working together and the Cromwells make a decent show of play-acting as Tigers too. 🙂

This was a surprisingly good movie. The colourization was a bit hit and miss but not enough to spoil things. I particularly liked the absence of rousing music during the battle scenes. This is a something I find irritating in many movies. Overall better than I expected from a flic with the title Steel Bayonet. 7/10

This film was probably loosely based on actual events that occurred in WW2 that involved a detachment of the 155th Battery Royal Artillery, & infantrymen of the 5th Royal Hampshire Regiment at Sidi Nisr, Tunisia on the 25th & 26th February, 1943.

I hope that it wasn't. If so, the general and the colonel were terrible tacticians. The town, and especially the tower, would have been pre-planned artillery targets with absolutely no need for the Germans to send in tanks nor ground troops. That open field around the abandoned building was surrounded by woods. A Forward Observer and a security team would have sufficed. On the other hand, the acting was done by pros.

@@GeneRoberts1961 : Well, obviously a lot of what’s in the film has been interpreted with very generous dollops of artistic license, it would seem & consistent with other British films of the postwar action or war genre!! I am also quite sure too, that the disused water tower (Observation Post) as depicted in this film, within the defended “farm buildings,” would have been the first of the tactical targets on the German’s list, of either their Krups’-88s artillery units, or as well as MG 34 machine gun teams firing high-arced fusillades at or around the tower & its base! Otherwise, either Wehrmacht infantry, mortar teams would have surely previously zeroed into the structure & destroyed it with a few well-aimed rounds already! However, these such superfluous things notwithstanding, for a 1957 Shepperton or Boreham Woods studios’ film &/or their ilk, it wasn’t a bad film & both Leo Genn & Michael Medway played their parts in it well! Interestingly, as well as being a leading actor for the stage & the ‘big screen,’ Leo Genn was also a qualified & practicing lawyer before the war in London, prior to him then subsequently turning to an acting career, & who had actively taken part in, during his war service, even notably attaining the rank of Lt. Col. in the Royal Artillery by 1943! Before being temporarily seconded to participate in the part/role of “Constable of France,” in Laurence Olivier’s epic wartime film adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Henry V.” He served before at home & later in both in the Army’s NW European Campaign (1944-45) being awarded the French ‘Croix de Guerre” & afterwards also participated in the the British Army’s legal trials & prosecutions of Nazi War Criminals from the ‘Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp’ & elsewhere at their tribunals held at Lueneberg in Lower Saxony from 1945-49, as a prosecution lawyer & court adviser then too!

JUST A SMALL, NIT-PICKING & ‘NERDIE’ POINT FOR FILM/MILITARY HISTORY AUTHENTICITY BUFFS! 🤣🤪 Particularly, as their long, 17” blade (1907 pattern) bayonets (And British Army Rifles too, I think?? However, I couldn’t see them long enough to make a clear enough & positive identification of their operative features on them to properly distinguish?!!) that they were using here in this film were obsolete by then & already the infantry were mainly operating the then superseded version of Lee Enfield, SMLE, .303 calibre, Mk III Rifle that had been previously deployed universally by the British Army from WW1 till the mid-to-late 1930s, & hence by this time (1943) they would have all almost certainly been replaced (Those Rifles not then left behind & lost on the beaches at Dunkirk in 1940, that is?!!) since 1941, by the subsequent model of the “Lee Enfield, SMLE, .303 calibre, No. 4 Mk I version Rifle” & its specialized, stiletto-type “pig-sticker” bayonet?!!

The same happened in the Desert Fox with James Mason. But it makes it feel like, it was actually filmed during the war, so adds to the realism in a way. Perhaps they could remaster it, but it all costs time and money, so you should be grateful for what you’ve got.

Was all going so well till the German tanks appeared! Must have been a sale on british Cromwell's at the tank store. Probably the most recognizable tank on any battlefield with it's riveted turret. The major, Leo Genn, barrister turned actor was a Lt Col. in WW2 and should have pointed out this lack of continuity to the director. Apart from that a damn good movie but leave out the colour it's a waste of time.
