描述二次世界大战期间盟军与德军的一场坦克大战，德军由罗伯特．萧饰演的希斯将军率领，企图在圣诞前夕对盟军作全面反击，但计划功败垂成，被亨利．方达饰演的凯晨将军发现，因而双方发生殊死战。原来的宽银幕电影颇能表现出这部巨制的战争气势，在小荧幕上播映当然大打折扣。不过，导演肯．安纳金的叙事手法仍算流畅，加上一群老牌演员罗伯特．瑞安，查理斯．布朗森等也演出卖力，使影片维持了相当的娱乐性。

In a genre defined by shocking violence and psychosexual kink, it remains perhaps the most over-the-top "giallo" in EuroCult history: former MGM starlet and doomed James Dean paramour Pier Angeli (two decades past her Golden Globe award for "Most Promising Newer" and just one year before her tragic death) star in this ultra-lurid epic packed with decapitations, pet vultures, creepy incest, groovy fashions, cyanide baths, swirly psychedelics, inexplicable plot twists, Nazi death camp flashbacks and more. Eleonora Rossi Drago, Fernando Sancho and Luciano Catenacci co-star in the 1970 sickie that would make Sigmund Freud himself scream in horror. Unfortunately, IN THE FOLDS OF THE FLESH is presently only available with an English-dubbed dialogue track. [Dubbing is generally avoided whenever possible (though not an option in this particular instance).]
