Combat! "Lost Sheep, Lost Shepherd" #1.3 (1962)

The "Priest with a Problem" didn't work for me, 28 June 2006

I haven't seen many episodes of Combat! yet, but of the handful I have seen, this is my least favorite. After a prolonged sequence of stock war footage, the episode gets off to a good start. The guys walking down the road and running into a squad of Nazis was quite exciting. But things go downhill from there, especially when Jeff Hunter shows up. I never bought his "Priest with a Problem". It just didn't seem real. And once the guys reach the village, things grind to a halt. Nothing happens. And how convenient was it that Caje, the only French speaker in the bunch, wasn't with them when they needed someone to speak to the French priest?

Overall, I've enjoyed my experiences thus far with Combat. I just hope I don't run into any more episodes like this one.
