5.0 out of 5 stars War Double Feature: Battle Cry/Battleground..., May 24, 2007

This review is from: War Double Feature: Battle Cry/Battleground (DVD)

War Double Feature: Battle Cry/Battleground is a good value for the

money. For those involved, gritty performances, good scenes of humor,

angst, and pain. I stumbled onto Battle Cry on Cable late over several

nights, and just couldn't get through the whole movie (what can I say?

I have to work so I can buy these DVD's!!). So, I purchased it for

$10/US. The fact that "BattleGround" was an extra was a bonus in my book!

Finally, as my Dad was an World War II and Korea Army Infantry Man, I

know that he would have gotten "a kick" out of the close-order drilling

displayed in the movie. The guys in the scenes in both movies were on their job!!

My rating: Five stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Battle Cry and that's enough., September 12, 2009

This review is from: War Double Feature: Battle Cry/Battleground (DVD)

Ok a bit dated as all these oldies are showing their era and limits of film back then.

But my mother dragged me at least 5 times to see Battle Cry in my PJ's in the 50's at
the local drive-ins. Seen it at least once on TV in the 60's. Husband never did see it
so this set is for him more than me. He's a wee bit older and has more appreciation for
that era I think and besides his Mom never went over the moon for this movie either:)))

A classic set for those who appreciate them.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Battleground" a Must-Have WW2 Classic, October 23, 2011

This review is from: War Double Feature: Battle Cry/Battleground (DVD)

This two-DVD set contains a pair of films that really should should be included in any WW2 film library. While "Battle Cry" is an interesting film about a USMC unit at home and in the island fighting-Pacific Campaign, "Battleground" is the true classic in the double feature. Set in the awful European winter of 1944-45, it follows a group of 101st Airborne Division paratroopers as they battle the elements and overwhelming German forces to hold the critical crossroads town of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. In many ways, this movie seems to foreshadow the great Spielberg/Hanks HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers," a modern classic viewed by millions.
Buying the two-DVD set turned out to be less expensive than purchasing "Battleground" by itself, so I would recommend this as the way to go. If you've never seen "Battleground," do yourself a favor, add it to your WW2 collection, and I believe that you'll be glad you did.
