Excellent World War II movie about one of the most important convoys / supply lines in the European Theatre. I'm really surprised this movie hasn't gotten more support. PLEASE RELEASE THIS MOVIE ON DVD !!

A fun movie to watch. Although it was many years later, with the advent of video tape, that I actually viewed it for the first time, I was raised with the knowledge of this film just the same.

My mother is Jaqueline Duval, the French girl with the bicycle, and as I was told later, she was pregnant with me during the filming.

A good film, not "great", but definitely related to factual events.

I thoroughly enjoyed this WW II movie, it has action, drama and a good plot. I am a recent devotee of WW II movies and this is as good as 5 graves to Cairo, the Enemy Below and The Train in my estimation. (I also enjoyed The Dessert Rats, The 49th Parallel and The Story of Dr Wassell.) I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a movie of a time when courage and perseverance of men meant personal differences must be put aside-in order that a unified purpose be achieved.

i saw this as a kid and thought it was a very cool movie. this is one of three movies i found in a three for $10.00 bin. i was very happy to find this overlooked war movie again.
the red ball express was the name given to the army supply drivers of world war II. after d-day patton's army was moving so fast that supplies fell behind, so the red ball express was put into action.
the movie is very good and it shines a light on a very important and over looked piece of world war II history!!

The cassette worked well in the machine, but the actual movie was poor. The movie was historically inaccurate and the acting was amaturish.I'm glad I bought it, however. My father was in the Red Ball Express during WWII. I feel like I have a souvenir.

The memories of watching the movie with my Dad, it was everything I remember. However, the video stopped playing in the middle. So very dis-apointed. as I had planned to send it on to my Dad. What do I do can I get a replacement ?
