Preposterous plot and a 3 hour mismash pretending to be a war movie. I watched it over the Memorial Day weekend on Turner Classics. I fell asleep for about a half hour but didn't miss a thing. Telly Savalis is a tough Sgt, Eastwood is a what? A lieutenant relieved of duty? Donald Southerland (Oddball) plays a pot head before the concept was invented. (Spoiler), The trio face down a German tiger tank like three cowboys with their hands on their sidearms and the tank commander surrenders and helps them rob a bank. It's hard to get a handle on how much the movie cost to make, all they say is that it "had a 4 million budget" but it must have cost a lot more. It only made about 5 mil.
