Synopsis:<\/strong>
\nDuring the Battle of the Bulge, Major Falconer (Burt Lancaster) and his platoon pass by a local religious zealot (Bruce Dern) leading a small group of conscientious objectors as they head to a castle near the Ardennes owned by a count (Jean-Pierre Aumont) and his beautiful wife Therese (Astrid Heeren). As the men prepare for onslaught from Germans, Pvt. Benjamin (Al Freeman, Jr.) reflects on the novel he’ll write from his experiences; Captain Beckman (Patrick O’Neal) admires the castle’s art collection and is jealous of Lancaster’s affair with Heeren; a baker (Peter Falk) finds the local baker’s widow (Olga Bisera) and lives with her; Corporal Clearboy (Scott Wilson) falls in love with a rusty Volkswagen; and many of the men seek pleasure at a local brothel run by the Red Queen (Caterina Boratto).\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
