Armed with GI battle gear and his jaded, world-weary screen persona, William Holden pushes toward Rome with the famed Texas 36th Division Infantry in Force of Arms, from the author of Guadalcanal Diary.âYou never hear the one that gets youâ is the common wisdom when enemy shells fall. Similarly, Joe Peterson (Holden) never knows what hits him when he meets WAC officer Eleanor MacKay (Nancy Olson). Joeâs always been fearless in battle. Now itâs tempered by a newfound will to survive. But caution in war can have dire consequences. Holden and Olson, fellow Sunset Blvd. Oscar nominees* the year before, are powerfully and tenderly reunited as lovers engulfed in warâs chaos. Theyâre well showcased by the director of the ultimate wartime romance: Casablancaâs Michael Curtiz.
