...correspondent for Collier's (he jokingly called himself "Ernie Hemorrhoid, the poor man's Pyle"), he took part in more of the European war than many a soldier. With Colonel (now Major General) Charles T. Lanham's 22nd Infantry Regiment, he went through the Normandy breakthrough, Schnee Eifel, the Hiirtgen Forest bloodletting and the defense of Luxembourg. Gathering 200 French irregulars around him, he negotiated huge allotments of ammunition and alcohol and assisted in the liberation of Paris.

Many of the film's good points are curiously bound up with its faults. By some elaborately contrived plotting, the Charles Schnee script has taste enough never to allow the voice of God to be heard on the sound track (though it cannot avoid letting the actors quote Him at second hand). It also sensibly refrains from letting the radio pronouncements touch off a spree of miracles.
