Attack! / Attack On The Iron Coast / Beach Red

Attack (1956) Jack Palance, Eddie Albert, and Lee Marvin star in a gritty and cynical combat drama. In the last days of WWII, the actions of a cowardly and inept Captain (Albert) leads to friction between him and his Lieutenant (Palance), and eventually tragedy. Robert Aldrich (The Dirty Dozen) directs this tale of a war where not every gun is pointed at the enemy.

Attack on the Iron Coast (1968) A team of intrepid commandos, led by Major Jamie Wilson, plot to ram an explosives laden ship into a Nazi stronghold in order to cripple the Axis naval effort. Starring longtime Hollywood favorite Lloyd Bridges.

Beach Red (1967) The battle to take control of an island from the Japanese in World War II is the framework for this hard-edged and thoughtful look at warfare produced, directed, and toplined Cornel Wilde. As the bloody conflict rages on, both sides of the battlefield find their fleeting memories of civilian life to be their only comfort.
