BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL (1956)

The spoiled rich son of a wealthy Southerner is changed by his experiences in the Pacific during World War II. Before the war, he was an arrogant southern cotton plantation owner, married to the daughter of a colonel. At the beginning of the war he was mobilized with his National Guard unit as a sergeant. Came the day when, revolted by the cowardice of his lieutenant, who had fired at his own men, he hit him. Downgraded, he was sent to a disciplinary battalion. Sam now discovers his new detachment, his new commanding officer, just another cowardly brute. While in combat, Sam will gradually become closer to the privates, working-class people he used to despise. He will become another man, a better man.
