Movie Theater Battleground.....An absolute must see!

[45.308]

About the 101st - the battered bastards of Bastogne.

Produced and directed by a real life war veteran who knew and understood what goes on and went on in war. James Whitmore as the platoon sergeant is just outstanding. The closing scene brought tears to eyes and says an unmeasurable amount of words. This movie should be standard viewing by all high school students.

A classic, gets four stars on its listings when the TV Guide program guide is available on the cable box. Everything about it is super, it's a who's who of postwar Hollywood prime talent. I've been watching it whenever I can catch it for many, many years now.

I will get a copy.

At first I confused it for "Battle cry", another Whitmore role.
It's more Hollywood-ish, but one film I have watched over and over. Have had the DVD since they released it.

Absolutely one of the best "war" movies ever made.
