Robert Wagner stars as insensitive Southern landowner who gets a much-overdue dose of humility and democracy when he's drafted into the army. 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, All Movie Guide

Richard Fleischer's gritty World War II drama Between Heaven and Hell comes to DVD with a very good widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while French and Spanish soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. 20th Century Fox deserves credit for putting such work into the transfer and the sound. This is a strong DVD. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
