Worst WW2 movie I have ever watched. Weird from the beginning song. A waste of good actors.

No, it's not historically accurate... and there was the weird choice of a soulless lounge singer song to start the movie, which was a big wtf? The lyrics were appropriate but the style... you'd think Eric Idle was the producer. But get past the inaccuracies, get past the lounge singer, and it turns into a very good move about people at war. If you're expecting to learn much about what happened at Anzio, you won't find it here. The movie is mostly fiction, but in that context it is a good movie.

Another good war film for the military buff.

My Uncle had served in Anzio and I had recently completed reading a book about North Africa, Italy and Anzio in particular. So when I found out about this movie, I ordered it. I had my Uncle come over and we watched it. It didn't even come close to the combat hell at Anzio. Very disappointed. Only 2 things in the movie that seemed accurate. The Nazi search plane and Robert Mitchums drive into and out of Rome. This movie is not recommended if you're into WWII research.

Quite frankly, I was expecting this movie to be about the Anzio campaign. More appropriately it should have been titled, "A Day in the Life of Some Guys who were Supposed to be at Anzio, But, for the Most Part, Weren't". And, what's this thing with Robert Mitchum??, ... a civilian journalist conflicted about war who seems to be more in command of this squadron than the officer and NCOs. This is late 60's or early 70's film making at its worst. Sorry Robert. Even you couldn't save this film.

Well folks, It's definitely not "The longest day" although watching it made it feel like the longest day. Robert Mitchum appears to have been either high or drunk while making this film. He literally just walked through the role like a zombie wearing a girdle. No emotion. Just read his lines. To say he was terrible is an understatement. And the scene with Peter falk in the back of the truck singing? Good grief! It was a living nightmare listening to him. It was even harder to endure than Robert Mitchums bad acting. The accuracy of the movie? What accuracy? Lol. The only good thing about this movie is Mark Damon who did an excellent job with the small thankless part he was given and Earl Holliman who also gave a good performance. Other than Mark and Earl? Meh. ..So because of them and the fact that I laughed out loud through most of the movie (which I'm pretty sure the director, writer, producer and the actors didn't intend for me to do and which made the movie more entertaining than it would have been had I not) I am going to be generous and give it 3 stars.
