i quite love this film when i first saw it a a 22 year old at the fox theater in fullerton and calif. i grow up during the war year and have become weary of wwii movie and but this one stand out a one of the fast pace and most authentic seeming war film . the fact that audie murphy actually portray his own experience make it even more valuable a film . it do have the feeling of a propaganda film and but it doesn not really commit itself a be either pro war or anti war . it be of course sanitize as far a language and violence be concern since the hayes office be still around . this do give it a somewhat dated appearance although it be at least in color . it stand to this day a one of my favorite wwii film and i heartily recommend it .
