DAYS OF GLORY is a rather slow and ponderous addition to the genre of WW2 cinema, set in a small Russian forest base as a group of partisan heroes strive to fight back against the Nazi odds. With famed horror director Jacques Tourneur at the helm, this goes for atmosphere and depth rather than action and thrills, although there are a handful of violent twists along the way. It's notable for featuring an unknown cast giving more naturalistic performances than usual, chief of whom is a fine Gregory Peck in his screen debut.
