What emerged from the new footage was a sympathetic closeup of intense, fiery-eyed Algerians who endure their wounded, their bombed-out meshtas, the homelessness of their families, to fight for their cause as tough, well-trained soldiers. Among them: a sloe-eyed, pretty, 21-year-old girl, and such veterans as a captain who won a dozen decorations in 14 years of service with the French army...
