The Young Lions

This film follows the fortunes of three soldiers, one German and two Americans, from the time of their enlistment for World War Two to the end of the war.

Christian Dietl (Marlon Brando) is a German who starts out as a dedicated soldier but gradually becomes appalled by the Nazi movement.

The American soldiers (Montgomery Clift and Dean Martin) meet as draftees, one a young Jew and the other an entertainer, and together endure Boot Camp and the campaign to retake France.

All three characters finally meet in a confrontation outside a concentration camp.

The film was nominated for three Oscars.
