Stars out slow but gets better! Death of a Soldier stars out slow, with the music, screen shots and story developmental of the times in Melborne during World War Two. Then there is this murders of women and the army first tries to cover it up then wants to hang the man responsible. Death of a Soldier get interesting as we learn what is happening. The military want a fast trial for the war effort, and Coburn excellently portrays the defense for a insane man. There is an issue about mental illness with the film which is sad. Death of a Soldier is truly a memorable film. 6 stars.
