The Hell with Heroes
The Hell with Heroes A Time for Heroes and Run Hero Run is a 1968 film directed by Joseph Sargent set in Africa immediately after World War II. The film stars Rod Taylor, Claudia Cardinale and Kevin McCarthy.
Although by this stage in his film career, Rod Taylor was a reasonably big film star, the producers could get him cheaply for this film under an old multipicture contract he had signed with Universal in 1962. Pete Duel was starting the first film as a Universl contract player. The Hell with Heroes did not receive positive critical reviews. In his review for the Hollywood Reporter, John Mahoney wrote that the film ... is a trite and unpleasant tale ... you are aware that the director is trying to punch up deficient material. In the review at The Motion Picture Herald, the commentator noted that The Hell with Heroes was ... in the tradition of oldfashioned melodrama, which is essentially what this picture basically is. ........
