The best thing that The Tanks Are Coming is good use of actual combat footage
well integrated into the film. A whole lot like the Sands Of Iwo Jima in the
Pacific Theater. Unfortunately said footage is tied to a rather pedestrian story.
As a lad I remember reading those Sergeant Rock comic books and watching Steve Cochran and the rest of the cast I got the feeling that I was looking at one of those comic books come to life. It shocks me though that Samuel Fuller wrote the original story. That man certainly went on to do bigger and better things in the war film genre.
Not the best work for any of the cast and crew.
