No Man's Land (it. Un branco di vigliacchi/Fr. Bande de lâches; lit. A Bunch of Cowards) is a black-and-white[1] 1962 Italian-French war film directed by Fabrizio Taglioni, and starring Roger Moore and Pascale Petit.
The film was written by Taglioni and produced by Enrico Bomba.[2]
Plot
Release
The film was released in Italy in 1962 and in 1963 in France.[2]
Production
In his autobiography,[3] Moore explains about his role in Romulus and the Sabines (1961 film): "Eventually I did get paid but only, I suspect, because Bomba wanted to offer me a second picture, No Man's Land."
Reception
The film received the award for the Best foreign film at the Moscow Film Festival in 1963.[4]
An Italian contemporary review recalls that the story is loosely based on Maupassant's "Boule de Suif'.[4]
