As I saw this film and Midnight Sure again recently, I opinion about Stanley Weintraub’s book Restful Night in which he discusses a brief period prior to Christmas in 1914, on the battlefields of Flanders, when German and British soldiers spontaneously agreed to philosophize a truce and suspend fighting, thereby defying their commanding officers. Centuries ago, knights and their attendants would work with their enemies to distinct a field for combat the next day. Such cooperation had an clear practical value. That’s not what interests Weintraub as he examines a temporary truce during one of the bloodiest wars ever fought. It had miniature (if any) practical or tactical value but it did (and does) suggest a human need which transcends military obligations. However, war is war. After a brief respite, the carnage inevitably resumes.
Directed by Sydney Pollack and based on William Eastlake’s original, it stars Burt Lancaster (Major Abraham Falconer), Patrick O’Neal (as Captain Lionel Beckman), and Peter Falk (as Sergeant Orlando Rossi) . They and their five associates are in Belgium during the winter of 1944 when they spy some R&R in the 10th century castle of Count Henri Tixier and his wife, Countess Therese. The Count is impotent and desperate for his wife to make a male heir. Falconer is an distinct candidate to succor the Count attain his just. Meanwhile, the war in Europe continues, of course, but the castle keeps them suited from its dangers and deprivations.
While seeing this film the first time and then again recently, I felt as if I were dreaming that I had returned to the 1940s in a time machine, to Belgium come the raze of World War Two. Credit Henri Decae’s cinematography with creating an uncommonly ravishing setting within which savage combat eventually occurs, reminiscent of John Mathieson’s visually blooming camera work during the “Hell Unleashed” sequence early in Gladiator. This is a haunting film, at times an exquisitely glowing film. Obvious scenes caused me to consider that I was hallucinating.

It now occurs to me that perhaps (fair perhaps) Castle Support portrays a group of men at war, not as they really were nor as war really was at a given time but as those men would remember it decades later, had all of them survived and eventually shared their memories of the castle and surrounding space. That is about as conclude as I have reach (thus far) to belief definite surrealistic moments in the film. Castle Maintain deserves more attention than it has received.
Hopefully it will soon be available in DVD format, accompanied by special features will include as grand discussion of it as is already available or can be generated. I fondly grasp the “Movies in Time” series on the History cable television channel, hosted by Sander Vanocur, which featured films such as Saving Private Ryan. Before, during, and then following each screening, Vanocur and his guests would discuss the film. How worthy I wish there were a recorded interview out there, somewhere, during which Pollack, Decae, Lancaster, Falk, and others associated with Castle Maintain fragment their thoughts and feelings about its meaning and significance.
Castle Hold is a very splendid war movie with an noble storyline that is a petite different from other war movies. The legend takes station in the Ardennes during WWII in the Battle of the Bulge. Eight walking wounded misfit Americans inspect a castle whose count offers to let them end there. The Americans must resolve whether to conclude and delay the Germans at the risk of destroying the beauty of the castle or honest turning around and running for their have lines.
This movie boasts an fine cast that includes Burt Lancaster, Peter Falk, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Tony Bill, Patrick O’Neal, and Bruce Dern. Lancaster gives another stout performance as Major Falconer, the leader of the group. O’Neal is also very generous as Captain Beckman, an art historian who wants to abandon the castle so it won’t be destroyed by the advancing Germans. Another exciting performance is by Peter Falk as Sergeant Rossi, who disappears into the nearby town and becomes their baker. This movie has some anti-war messages, but at other times it is very laughable. I hadn’t heard of this movie before I saw it on TV, but it is very pleasurable. Well developed characters, marvelous action, some humor, and an intriguing if sometime out of plot musical pick up. Either contrivance this is a movie that is well worth watching.
