The Devil's Brigade
The Devil's Brigade
During World War II, a special fighting unit is formed that combines a crack Canadian Army unit and a conglomeration of U.S. Army misfits who had previously served time in military jails. After an initial period of conflict between the two groups, their enmity turns to respect and friendship, and the unit is sent Italy to attempt a dangerous mission that has heretofore been considered impossible to carry out.

The Devil's Brigade follows a group of American misfits joining forces with a Canadian commando unit, shaped into an elite team under William Holden's Lt. Colonel Robert T. Frederick. While it touches on the psychological toll of war, the film leans more on over-the-top heroism and camaraderie.
