THE BIGGEST BATTLE is a WW2 action flick from Italy, directed by the prolific Umberto Lenzi, but sadly it's one of his most boring titles. The problem is that this focuses on dull family saga material, charting the duality of two opposing family lines as they battle their way through some of the most notorious battlefields of the way. Plenty of imported Hollywood talent - Stacy Keach, Henry Fonda - play opposite the homespun likes of Giuliano Gemma and Edwige Fenech. Sadly, it's all very talky and uninteresting aside from the action. As for the battles, they're of the kind you expect from Italian WW2 cinema, almost a throwback from the late '60s.
