Die ins Gras beißen (1962)
Eine Kampfepisode aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu Ehren amerikanischen Soldatentums. In einer bisher ruhigen Stellung am Westwall muß eine den Urlaub erwartende Gruppe zum Fronteinsatz. Sie täuscht erfindungsreich eine starke Besetzung vor; dazu gehört unter anderem ein wahnwitziger Angriff auf ein deutsches MG-Nest in einem Bunker. Hierbei tut sich ein eigenbrötlerischer Draufgänger hervor, der als Offiziersanwärter wegen Totschlags in Trunkenheit degradiert wurde. Um diesen zwielichtigen Ex-Mastersergeanten und die Doppelbödigkeit seines "Heldentums" geht es Don Siegels Film im wesentlichen.
