Editorial Reviews
"No one's in this for the glory, unless he's a psycho." So states Sgt. Chip Saunders (the great Vic Morrow) during the course of King Two's march toward the liberation of Paris -- the focus of in this second set of episodes from Combat!'s first season (1962-63. (See the season’s other half in Combat! Season 1, Campaign 1.) These episodes include some of the series' best; and while Shecky Green is missing in action (alas), there’s plenty of fine work by some now-decorated directors, actors, and writers. Robert Altman directed the harrowing "Survival," one of Morrow's finest hours, in which a severely wounded Saunders must make his way back from behind enemy lines; "I Swear by Apollo," in which the platoon takes refuge in a convent; and "Off Limits," which features former child star Peggy Ann Garner (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn) as an unfaithful married nurse. Superman director Richard Donner is behind the camera for the episode "No Trumpets, No Drums" and behind the mike as well in a lively DVD commentary; and there’s also a terrific episode from Hang 'Em High director Ted Post ("The Sniper"). The familiar character actors just keep on coming, including an excellent turn by Frank Gorshin as a guilt-ridden soldier who takes credit for his dead friend's heroism in "The Medal" (written by James Bond veteran Richard Maibaum). Ted Knight shows up in "The Volunteer," Robert Culp in "Hill 256," and Dean Stockwell in "High Named Today." Combat! was anything but gung-ho. The battle action hits home with a documentary-like intensity, and the best episodes offered compelling character studies. In "One for the Road," an undermanned Saunders and company pay dearly with their decision to rescue an abandoned infant rather than going "by the book." Perhaps those involved with Combat! weren't in it for the glory, but they certainly achieved it. Donald Liebenson, Barnes & Noble
