The Victors. Carl Foreman director. I saw him give a televised lecture once and he said he made it as an anti-war film and that his using Frank Sinatra's Have Yourselves was described by the film's detractors as "a cheap trick". According to Foreman the critics spoke more truly than they knew because Sinatra did it for nothing. I also remember him pointing out that we hadn't had a single day, including Christmas days, that were entirely free of war since World War 2. That was about thirty years ago. Not a lot has changed.
