Halls of Montezuma is a cracking good war film. Halls is notable for not being as gung-ho about war as some other similar films from the period are. It isn't all about glory; there's doubt, fear, despair and melancholy to be found among these men. There's even some willingness to admit that the enemy is human as well. Lewis Milestone's muscular yet affecting direction helps pave over the smooth spots, and the battle sequences he and cinematographers Winton Hoch and Harry Jackson concoct are enormously effective. Richard Widmark is aces as the leader with a secret, and everyone else from Jack Palance and Karl Malden to Robert Wagner and Richard Boone turn in solid performances.
