Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Sam Peckinpah weighs in on World War II--and from the German point of view. The result is as bleak, if not quite as bloody, as one expects, in part because the 1977 film was cut to ribbons by nervous studio executives. The assorted excerpts that remain don't constitute an exhilarating or even an especially thrilling battle epic. The war is grinding to a close, and veterans like James Coburn's Steiner are grimly aware that it's a lost cause. The battlefield is a death trap of sucking mud and barbed wire, and the German generals (viz., the martinet played by James Mason) seem to pose a bigger threat to the life and limbs of Steiner's men than the inexorable enemy. Not even Peckinpah's famous sensuous exuberance when shooting violence is much in evidence; the picture is a depressive, claustrophobically overcast experience. The bloody high (or low) point isn't a shooting; it's a wince-inducing de-penis-tration during oral sex. For a fun time with the men in (Nazi) uniform, try Das Boot instead. --David Chute

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I liked it in 1977 - not so much today
I saw "Cross of Iron" when it was in theatrical release in 1977 and thought it was a pretty good treatment of the German side of WWII.
I watched it again last night on DVD and found myself fast-forwarding past the dull spots. Since I have collected WWII German militaria, lots of little mistakes in uniforms and equipment jumped out at me. The most glaring was the imitation Reich war flag hanging in the background in the outdoor hospital scenes.
Coburn's performance holds up, but Schell's ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A nicely done Eastern Front movie
Overview
Cross of Iron is director Sam Peckinpah's look at the German Army on the Eastern Front in 1943. In this movie, Feldwebel Steiner (played by James Coburn) leads a Reconnaissance platoon (more like a squad) that has received a new company commander, Hauptmann Stransky who has arrived from a posting in France with the focus of winning the Iron Cross. To gain the Iron Cross Hauptmann Stransky is prepared to do whatever is necessary.

The Good
The characters are great. ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Terrible video transfer; great story done badly
I saw this movie originally back in the 1970s. I received the movie the other day. Cross of Iron was a pretty good movie back in 1977 but now - after spending a good bit of time studying the German Army - this movie has issues and just isn't that good. "A Bridge too Far" is a far better movie and is from the same production time period.

First, Hen's tooth video does a poor job of transferring this video to DVD. Indeed, it's terrible. Names are cut off, parts are deleted, and the whole ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - War on the Eastern Front
First of all, it does not do the book justice... but then again, what movie ever does?

With that being said, this is a good war movie in its own right. It is intensely graphic and the imagery it is certainly intended to put lie to the idea of war as a noble crusade or a romantic adventure.

Cross of Iron revolves around the obsession a German captain has with being awarded the Iron Cross for valor, more as a trophy or vindication for his life as a soldier. One of his soldiers, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "What will we do when we loose this war?"
Cross of Iron (Full Screen)

That question was addressed to Captain Kessel, by Colonel Brandt. Captain Kessel's answer should be remembered by all of us, "prepare for the next war".

As I watched the rest of the movie I looked for scenes with Captain Kessel in them. To me he seemed to be a sad almost comedic relief as he commented about his health not being worth drinking to....Then before he left for the railhead, telling Colonel Brandt, "there are better men than me, most of them ...
