Immortal Sergeant

A corporal is serving in the desert during the Second World War. He thinks about the woman he left behind. At the same time he is unsure of his own strength as a leader. When he has to take charge of the unit, that doubt turns into a real test. The film tells the war not through great operations but through one man’s confidence in himself. An ordinary person forced to take responsibility is the real subject. It was made in 1943, while the war was going on. The ninety one minutes are given to the desert front. Henry Fonda and Maureen O’Hara appear in John M. Stahl’s American film, completed in 1943.
