My dad was in the 82nd Airborne during World War Two and this was his favorite war movie. He said it realistically portrayed the guys in the field. We've watched it many times together.1945 Lewis Milestone film stars Dana Andrews and Richard Conte in the story of a U.S. battalion fighting in Italy. Takes a look at the average dog faced GIs and what they had to deal with in combat and the lulls in between firefights.
Realistic but not graphic in terms of modern films. Still compelling and human.
