@Addiskrilla the provos were provost, basically a MP (military police) for lack of better term. The soldiers in the church deserted (left their unit and tried to escape) which was, back then, and still today, a serious crime. It was punishable by death back then. So the Provost was sent to capture them before they could escape.
I was lucky enough to see this movie last night for the first time in years. I loved this movie as a preteen and like Keeper I never made the Harrison Ford connection. I did have a crush on Jan Michael Vincent. I remember crying during the movie. I loved how at the end when they let him go back home. I will have to look for this on dvd.
@SHC87 Yes, I was surprised to see Harrison Ford in this movie when I first saw it years ago--this must have been one of his first acting roles, back when nobody knew who he was.
I loved this movie too. The opening and ending songs combined with the sadness of the fates of the characters and good acting just made it really memorable for me as a kid. From the novel by Will James and a good score by Leonard Bernstein.
I love this movie. First saw it when I was 14. Paul Petersen told me I could get it on Ebay. I remembered James Caan, Michael Sarrazin, and Jan, but never made the connection with Harrison Ford. Those men were too fine to forget.
Apparently the belly of a young guy was the target of choice because in two civil movies, in one a reb and in the other a blue belly, a young Paul Peterson was gut shot twice.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid. The only one of the 7 guys I'd heard of was Paul Peterson from the Donna Reed Show. What a cast...James Caan, Harrison Ford, Jan Michael Vincent, Michael Sarrazin. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you so much. THis has been my favorite Movie for years, but i could not find the movie anywhere. and then i see you had the clip up, so I Just had to ask for the Opening and ending songs, and I must say Thank you so much,
their was this part of the movie when these guys they call "Provos" came into the
church and arrested their own. why? They both wear grey ( the only difference is that
the provos were wearin elbow and chest lengthed coats and the ones who got arrested weren't) so......why?

The best/saddest movie of all time, with an awsome theme song. Thanks for posting XD

This movie is kind of an American "All Quiet on the Western Front" in the way that everyone dies, as the realities of war are presented as vignettes.
A great unforgettable movie, that I first saw like so many others in 1968 at age 14.

I like Harrison Ford very much. He's Indiana Jones, my favourite hero ever! He gave life to the character.
