Bought out of curiosity. So now I know the Audie Murphy story….but once is enough.

I ordered this for my husband, who likes old war movies. It is an old war movie, and based on a true experience. It is OK.

No where near as good as the book. Read the book, burn the movie.

This is not a great movie. I think it was supposed to be another Sergeant York, but does not make it. I bought this because I am a boomer, born in 1946, who loved war movies and westerns when I was a boy, and watching this brings back fond memories of cheap Saturday matinees with my friends. As I grew up, I became quite anti-war, but I had a great childhood in the 50s, and I will always respect good soldiers. I still watch good war movies like Saving Private Ryan.

Being an avid reader of military history, and knowing someone with eyewitness knowledge of Audie Murphy's wartime exploits. I'd categorize the film as being fairly true to the autobiographical book, even if a bit "Hollywoodized" by a theme song written for especially the film, and by the sometimes hokey acting of Murphy's supporting characters. Murphy was, indeed, a hero. A hero who saw and experienced indescribable horror while still in his late teens. His persona was forged by many months of combat, and his eyes - the eyes of a man who'd seen too much - reflected that in all his films. I recommend the film as entertainment, and also as a piece of history. The story of a man from "The Greatest Generation" who gave so much. Perhaps too much.
