The camera moves quietly up the aisles of briefing rooms, or quietly hovers over the coffee tables, recording the faces of newly wakened men as they hear their assignment, or of worn-out men telling precisely how they carried it out. The sound track drinks in the clumsy quips, the murmurs of assent or pleasure, the grain of each man's character and dialect and humor and attitude as he replies to his questioner. Skillfully cut, this splendid material is wisely allowed to dominate with its own instructive image and sound the neutral, informative voice of the commentator.
