Cross Of Iron is one war film that will engage command viewings to truly hold all the material. With that said, I won’t interpret on the film’s strong points since they’ve already been mentioned by many before. And this DVD release from Hen’s Tooth is not the one to thought this film from. It is a shortened edited version and the transfer is Full-Frame, it doesn’t even appear to be Pan & Scan…simply a uninteresting shot down the middle of the film. The quality of this Hen’s Tooth release is absolutely contaminated for the DVD format. It appears as though it’s almost a VHS transfer, or a heavily passe film transfer at best. There are numerous scratches and dust artifacts, and the color saturation is very old-fashioned in many scenes. The sound on the DVD is equally abominable during the entire movie, it’s very hard to understand considerable of the dialogue at times.
I’ve purchased bargain DVD’s for $3 before that are 100% better in quality than this! Unprejudiced by the sheer fact that the film is edited would have Peckinpah rolling in his grave. Hen’s Tooth knows and have admitted that the transfer is sinister, yet they calm charge $30 retail nearly 4 years after their DVD release?!?? There is no intention that this disc is worth that great money. I would gladly pay the mark if it was a Criterion edition, but not this terrible edition.
If you have the technical capability I recommend ordering either the UK DVD or Japanese DVD of Inferior Of Iron. It won’t cost you mighty more (perhaps less) than this unworthy Dwelling 1 DVD release. The imports both show the film in it’s unusual anamorphic widescreen format, with vastly suited describe and sound. If you don’t have the technical capability, then remove a VHS edition of Scandalous Of Iron.

5 stars for the film itself, 0 stars for the Hen’s Tooth DVD…hence my 4 star rating.
Cross Of Iron is a masterpiece, one of the greatest anti-war, anti-authoritarian movies. It is one of director Sam Peckinpah’s two finest works — the other being The Wild Bunch. It deserves to be ranked in the same mountainous war movie company as Apocalypse Now, Das Boot, Corpulent Metal Jacket, Paths Of Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Seven Samurai, and Zulu. Its setting on the World War Two Eastern Front, its gruesomeness, and its risk-taking viewpoint on gruesome combat from the German side, have tended to count against heavenly assessment of its noteworthy artistic achievements. Viewers wary of the morality of its German viewpoint and its explicitness might gather that it is fundamentally about humanity in general as a victim of war. The film reflects on the humanity which may be found on all sides of conflict–including Russian humanity portrayed variously as relentless, innocent, valiant, and feminine.
Cross Of Iron opens with an intense, chilling montage of nursery rhyme, propaganda, combat newsreel and atrocity. By the destroy of the main title the montage subtly introduces the central characters, a German reconnaissance unit patrolling on the 1943 Russian front.
This 1977 film residence rarely matched standards of cinematic mayhem. Defective Of Iron explosions don’t leer merely like fair fireballs — they blast fragments, rocks and debris, leaving no doubt as to why blood gouts from stumps of limbs and shrapnel-shredded entrails… Amid the screams of wounded and dying, as dust subsides from a mortar barrage, an artillery share shorn of its crew by a reach hit swings across a pocked battlefield, its traversing wheel spinning under its fill momentum. The carnage occurs in the choreographed listless motion which Peckinpah made his signature.

James Coburn turns in one of his finest roles as Rolf Steiner, a highly decorated NCO who leads a German reconnaissance squad. Steiner fights less for his country than for his comrades. He has rude opinions of class and base distinctions. He is contemptuous both of Nazism and the aristocratic Prussian arrogance of his original safe officer, Captain Stransky, played with substantial style by Maximilian Schell. But there are hints of a dim side. Although Steiner is explain and philosophical he has no reply when his treasure interest during an enforced crash from battle, nurse Eva (Senta Berger), bitterly accuses him of being horrified of what he would be without the war.
Among the many resplendent supporting performances, James Mason plays the war-weary Colonel Brandt. He sees the immorality and futility of German war aims, but his sense of honour and duty about the prevailing struggle makes ceasing to fight unthinkable. David Warner plays Brandt’s out-of-place and out-of-time adjutant, Captain Kiesel, who represents to his colonel the hope that a more enlightened postwar Germany might arise from the ashes of inevitable defeat.
War movie buffs irritated by the technical inaccuracies current in many examples of the genre will gather some satisfaction in attention to authenticity of weaponry. A range of righteous WWII German and Russian miniature arms appears. The T 34/85 tanks are steady, although the very picky might argue that this is at least six months premature, and that for the summer of ‘43 they should be T 34/76. Tactics at times deviate from the textbooks, but this is a drama, not a combat manual.
Cross Of Iron is a five-star movie. The Hen’s Tooth Video release is a two-star DVD, with sub-standard relate and sound. But it is worth owning while this mammoth film of a substantial American director lacks the high quality collectors’ edition Zone 1 DVD release it deserves.
