Irish Colonel Charlie McPhearson has just had his platoon of twenty-eight slaughtered by German troops. Angered at his superiors for this suicide mission, he takes convicts on his next, along with fornicating American explosives technician Major Burke, to defuse underwater mines so that a commando squado can prepare for a June 10 invasion to destroy a tank gun. Because Colonel Ackerman, whose troops killed his last platoon, is the leader of the platoon in charge of the gun, McPhearson insists on trying to complete the commandos' mission.
I saw this WW2 movie under the title LEGION OF THE DAMNED and was more an a little disappointed with the quality given the pedigree of the cast members and especially director Umberto Lenzi, a man who more often than not made films that were pure entertainment. This one feels just too low budget and too tired to succeed, and the cast of misfit characters (clearly modelled on THE DIRTY DOZEN) are just too unlikeable for the viewer to truly enjoy their presence.
The cast is headlined by the great Jack Palance, but the bad news is that he's been dubbed by a Scottish guy with a completely ridiculous, over the top, and stilted accent, which means that you just can't take him seriously at any point in the film. His men are an entirely undistinguished group apart from Aldo Sambrell's Indian fighter who is an unusual and welcome addition. Wolfgang Preiss and Curd Jurgens play the Nazi officials and really both roles are a walk in the park for the actors.
The story does feature plenty of action which is in the film's favour, but unfortunately it's not very well shot and it is very cheap-looking too. It's only at the climax that things get really exciting with some stand-out moments that come close to iconic, but otherwise this is par for the course, let down by the presentation which really could have been better.
After seeing Attack, a great film featuring one of Jack Palance's best performances, war films and Palance seemed like an ideal combination. Legion of the Damned(aka Battle of the Commandos) disappoints however, there are some good things but it underwhelms on the whole due to budget limitations and careless directing.
Legion of the Damned's best components are the music score and the acting. The music is very rousing, and gives the film the tension and excitement that it is lacking in otherwise. The cast is a good one and they give credible performances, with Jack Palance being animated and grippingly hard-nosed(if a little too brutish for a leader), Thomas Hunter clearly having fun, Helmet Schneider heartfelt, Guido Lollobrigida charmingly roguish and Wolfgang Preiss authoritative. The film is not too badly paced, it certainly doesn't drag but it does at times feel rushed especially in the action, there are some great one-liners from McPherson and the conclusion is intense and moving.
It is a shame though that it is badly let down by the production values and the direction. The photography never rises above that for a low-budget late-60s-early-70s TV series(which I am not sure was not the look that was intended), the sets are sparse and dreary with even drearier lighting and the editing is very confused and so constantly rapid it's enough to make one dizzy. In all three cases, it is especially bad in the action. The same can be said with the direction too, which throughout is incredibly careless and the film fails to achieve momentum and suspense in the action outside of the conclusion due to the bad editing and the frantic pacing. The script has its moments definitely with some nice one-liners and makes some good points, but has an abruptly jumping about to the next point without developing everything feel and a lot of melodramatic talk that doesn't develop the characters enough. The anti-war statement intended well but came over as tacked on and muddled.
The characters are generally very one-dimensional, especially McPherson, with some even floating in and out of the story and action, and the story while not dull in pacing could have had more tension, suspense and excitement(which is why it underwhelms as a war film, and a higher budget, a slightly longer length and if the film on occasions had slowed down a tad would have helped) and could have been less jumpy and episodic.
Overall, underwhelming but watchable. 4/10 Bethany Cox
