...movie is called The Victors. This time Foreman has not only written the script; he is also producing the movie and, for the first time, directing. Based on Alexander Baron's The Human Kind, the picture will have no hero: it is a vast collection of vignettes following the war from 1942 to a confrontation between a U.S. soldier and a Russian soldier in late 1945.
