Good characterization, but not much combat
“The Red Ball Express” is a behind-the-lines war tale of a 1944 truck convoy assembled to deliver emergency supplies of gas and ammunition to Gen. George S. Patton’s rapidly advancing tank corps in France during World War II. A pre-title card prologue fills us in on the reason for the rush. Patton’s forces advanced against the enemy much faster than anticipated and the supply chain didn’t keep up. Now the tanks are out of gas, the weapons are out of ammo, and the men are sitting ducks. The title is a railroad term. “Red ball express” meant a freight train carrying high-priority cargo.<br /><br />Lt. Chick Campbell (Jeff Chandler) is put in command of a group of soldiers who will load and drive the trucks as quickly as possible to keep Patton’s forces supplied as they push on toward Paris. Sgt. Red Kallek (Alex Nicol) is assigned to be Campbell’s second in command. There is bad blood between them over an incident in their past, but the two men are forced to cooperate to get their arduous task accomplished. Some of their men have a good deal of experience driving trucks, others none.<br /><br />Directed by Budd Boetticher, the film is a fictionalized account of an actual post-D-Day mission to deliver supplies to the allies. There are few combat scenes, and most of the tension derives from how the men deal with muddy roads, exhaustion, minefields, and personal grudges and prejudices. Some men complain, others question the mission, and others simply do their part. It’s not a glamor mission, and this is shown by men nodding off behind the wheel, lugging heavy gas cans onto trucks, and constantly fighting the clock.<br /><br />The supporting cast includes Charles Drake, Sidney Poitier, Hugh O’Brien and Jack Kelly. A camaraderie develops among the men. They all think their mission is far less meaningful than fighting at the front. But the drudgery they face day after day and Campbell’s leadership eventually pay off as they recognize their importance to the military advance. The film touches gingerly on racial disharmony, but it is not a major theme and is focused primarily on Robertson (Poitier), a sensitive soldier.<br /><br />Director Boetticher succeeds in delineating several characters while keeping the convoy constantly moving. Several scenes involving women slow the pace. A couple of Red Cross nurses pop up in a few places more to add feminine charm than to move the plot along. Pvt. Partridge (Drake) “meets cute” an attractive young French woman (Jacqueline Duval), and their flirtations draw attention away from the convoy and pad the narrative. These scenes serve only to boost the running time to a still modest 83 minutes.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the unrated Blu-ray release include an audio commentary and 6 trailers.
