The Victors (1963)
8/10
Why not even a video of this movie? We need the DVD, now!

It is truly appalling to witness how many abysmal movies are brought to DVD year after year, and some good films like this one are not. I can imagine that "Deuce Bigelow: European Gigolo" or "Freddy Got Fingered" might find a bigger following than a thoughtful anti war movie, especially nowadays, when to oppose a war means to be an enemy of the State and a fatherland's hater, but for the intellectual health of a nation would be advisable to repair the wrong and bring this movie to the place it deserves. I can't imagine there is a secret political reason for ignoring an all-star cast movie of this dimensions, especially when, on the other hand, that obscene mockery of history of the Vietnam War called "The Green Berets", by John Wayne, is free to buy at Amazon.com, but it's suspicious that exactly this movie has been ignored by the distributors. Now a DVD would be a blessing, especially if it came with the alternative versions, the censored, for Americans, and the European, for grownups, with Ms. Sommer in all her splendorous beauty to see. Nothing against America, don't get me wrong, just against the censors that, in those times, denied their own population the right to think and to decide for themselves.
