You should really only be allowed to make a film this long if it’s a masterpiece.

Obedient German Manbaby (Brando, who else) takes orders from hard-nosed skillet general Maximillian Schell (Maxi for short). One such day, Brando is tasked to deliver garments to Maxi's wife and other things as well. This continues until they're deployed to Africa. Fatally during a routine fire bombing, Brando and Maxi get injured on a motorcycle. Of course, Brando only receives minor injuries while Maxi becomes an eyeless, noseless, and cheekless bureaucrat who mistakenly confuses Brando for Maxi's wife while at the german hospital. Oh yeah, Dino and Clift start a fight club!
Bad german accents galore! Interesting fact: While Brando leaves the german hospital, he notices a child struggling to climb over a branch. That child was, in fact, Elon Musk before he starred in his debut film Germany Year Zero (who later adapted many of his childhood experiences onto films like The Good Son and It's Alive!) Otherwise, a "superior"-ish WW2 adaptation about learning to hate your father . . . land.
Brando gets shot in the face, are there really any complaints?

I only have two complaints: 1. I can't take Marlon Brando seriously with that fake german accent and persona and 2; Barbara Rush didn't have enough screen time.
Monty Clift delivered an amazing performance.
