The Greatest Battle (Italian: Il grande attacco, lit. 'The Great Attack') is a war film directed by Umberto Lenzi.
The Greatest Battle passed Italian censors on 19 January 1978. The film was released under several titles, including La Battaglia di Mareth, The Biggest Battle and The Great Battle.
For Mick Martin and Marsha Porter it shows "lots of phony battle scenes, bad acting, and a poor script".Leonard Maltin writes: "Amateurish muddle about WW2 combines tired vignettes with well-known stars, dubbed sequences with others, and newsreel footage narrated by Orson Welles. A waste of everybody's time".
