- Quotes
Nick Adams: Look, what can you tell in four days?
George: I'll tell ya what I can tell. I can tell ya that three times a day I get hungry and every twenty-four hours I get an irresistible urge to go to sleep in a bed. I don't wanna beg and I don't wanna steal. I don't want a cop tellin' me I'm a vagrant and runnin' me outta town. I'm sorry to desert you, but I'm not cut out for this kind of a life.

This is a semi-self-biography of the great and restless adventurer writer from his rural Michigan to the Italian front . Along the way he grows to camaraderie, manhood , comradeship and friendship . Richatd Beymer gives an acceptable acting as the stubborn , inmature young who embarks on an eventful cross-country trip and subsequently enlisted in the Italian front against the Austrian army , as an ambulante driver .Support cast is frankly magnificent such as : Arthur Kennedy as an upright but weak father , Jessica Tandy as domineering mother , Paul Newman as a deformed and punch-drunk boxer , Joaquin Martínez as his coach , James Dunn as a likeable telegrapher , Dan Dailey as a drunken advert-man for a burlesque show run by Fred Clark , Corinne Calvet as a Countessa , Elly Wallach as a soldier colleague and Ricardo Montalban as an Italian General, among others.
Thus thoughtful motion picture was well directed by Martin Ritt . This great director was an expert on well-crafted dramas , such as : Stanley and Iris , Nut , Norma Rae , The Front , The sound and the Fury , Black Orchid . Although he also made other genres, including films as The Spy who came in from Cold , The Great White Hope , Mafia. And he worked with Paul Newman in three Westerns : Hombre , Hud , Outrage and this one in which he plays splendidly a beaten boxer. Rating 7/10 . Better than average . Notable
