Get Paul's reaction to Cross of Iron and find out if Cross of Iron is worth watching. Who would have thought that the former country of Yugoslavia, a director necking whiskey all day and money from a porn director, would have combined to create a war film that still receives accolades to this day! It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors. #CrossOfIron #SamPeckinpah #JamesCoburn #MaximilianSchell #JamesMason #DavidWarner #SentaBerger #WorldWar2 #Wehrmacht #Russia #1943 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl
