The 'Saving Private Ryan' of 1943....


Brutally honest war movie, with a great cast and a true depiction of what horrors our troops were facing! With the war in the Pacific raging, it is no wonder that the Japanese were bad mouthed, like the Nazis were in the equally brutal "The Seventh Cross" of the same year. One of the finest WWII movies!

I agree. I also found Robert Taylor so impressive, who played a lot of "pretty face" parts before this.

I am not sure if it is one of the finest WWII movies, but it is a better movie than it gets credit for here.
