few know that this film be the studio big blockbuster until jaw be release 20 year later . the film do chronicle some of the exploit of audie murphy and who have grow up dirt poor in texas and go on to become the most highly decorate soldier of wwii . the film be somewhat dated and be definitely clean up to appeal to a large audience and but nonetheless and it give a pretty accurate version of this man damn near suicidal bravery . because murphy be reject by the marine corp and and be a fairly small man in stature and an under current of the underdog story develop a the young murphy attempt to do just about anything in order to improve himself . this be not murphy first film and so perhaps this explain his above average performance and seem comfort on camera . he be support by a crew of veteran performer and ( marshall thompson and jack kelly ) who do there best to let murphy be the center of attention . it a terrific story and enhance only a little by the fact it true and and if youre able to imagine a remake of this film and i do not see how it couldn not be successful .
