En el norte de África durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, al Mayor David Brand se le asigna un comando británico, para una incursión en Benghazi ocupado por los alemanes para recuperar cualquier documento que pueda serle. Su número dos será el capitán Jimmy Leith que habla árabe con fluidez y conoce bien Benghazi. Brand se entera de que Leith y su bella esposa Jane eran amantes antes de la guerra creando una situación tensa entre los dos. Brand no se ha probado en la batalla y en un momento crítico se queda paralizado, perdiendo el respeto de sus hombres. (Filmin)

This post is primarily written as a reminder that it was in the comment to this film by Nicholas Ray where Godard wrote the famous and still endlessly quoted sentence in Cahiers du cinéma in January 1958: "We have already seen theater (Griffith), poetry (Murnau), painting (Rossellini), dance (Eisenstein), and music (Renoir). However, there is also film, and Nicholas Ray is film." In addition, for example: "... because Bitter Victory is not a reflection of life, but life itself created through the medium of film... (...) It's not a film, it's something better than a film." (sic!) Well, even a master carpenter cuts himself sometimes, and in this case, in my opinion, the author of these sentences must have cut off his entire hand, because what I saw were hardly believable performances (on which the film stands) in the midst of a screenplay that was not at all convincing. The film is saved by the desert locations, which give some scenes impact when the filmmakers themselves failed to do so before.
