this movie be a fantastic movie . everything about it in my opinion be top notch from the act to the directing . i know mr. garfield be blacklist in the 1950 but the majority of his other film be on video if not dvd . that be the case and why isn not this one . a friend record it off of tcm for me but to have it on dvd would be great . for special feature they could have say a marine historian talk about the battle and if mr. schmid wife or son be still alive they could be interview a well . anyway this be a great movie and i highly recommend it . if it ever be put out hopefully it would not be colorize . colorize it would in my opinion just ruin the whole effect of the film . the battle scene be quite realistic as far a a 1945 and film would go . mr. garfield do a superb job of portray mr. schmid . some actor might have be tempt to overact the part of mr. schmid disability but i feel he get it just right . i sincerely hope they come out with this movie on dvd someday a a tribute to the courage of al schmid and all the other marine who sacrifice so much for u in world war two .
