Unable to curb his arrogance, Wagner runs afoul of a sadistic military officer (Broderick Crawford), who makes it his mission in life to break the recalcitrant recruit. After rescuing a fellow soldier (Buddy Ebsen), Wagner discovers he has the inner strength to change his outlook on life, and to stand up to the vicious Crawford. Based on a novel by Francis I. Gwaltney, Between Heaven and Hell features uncredited appearances by Frank Gorshin, Scatman Crothers, and Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Entertaining but not too believable psychological war drama.

Scott Weinberg, Apollo Guide
A damn good movie, one that looks at this infamous war through the eyes of one gradually enlightened aristocrat.
