This is a pretty grim movie that I feel is acted very earnestly to reflect the mindset of both the times and the army.
This is not an action orientated film rather a minor exploration of the torments of war.
Being black and white adds to the dour feel the film has, the bleak existence of the troops, the mud and the death.
Bogarde made some strong movies in the 60's and this is one of them :)
