I bought this after I found our local library didn't have a copy. It's in a way, a cheesy 50s movie, but in another way, one of the more important movies ever made since it's about Audie's efforts in Italy and France that won him so many decorations. Must see for all kids. We've watched it a few times and now will give it to the library so others can see it too. Audie was the kind of Hero that is needed in the world, a humble person who got the job done, a much better role model than what is called a "hero" in modern culture. He had no "Mr ToughGuy" stuff going on.

It was made when War Movies were some what tame. Things blow up and people get shot and die but the actual violence is tame compared to most TV shows on TV today. It is the true story of Audie Murphy, who at 17 joined the Army during WWII and by age 19 became the most decorated solider in the History of the Army. He was short and too young but showed everybody he was true Hero. For it's time it's not a bad movie. If you like true war stories this one is mostly true. They rearranged some of the incidents so in the movie the actual battles did not happed in the correct order. The narration should have been left out.

Good old war movie about our greatest generation. I never grow tired of watching it. The more bullets that fly and the more enemy blood that is spilled while the brotherhood of our fighting men defend and fight for revenge of their fellow soldiers and our Freedom, the more meaningful the experience is. More young people ought to watch this to understand true patriotism, valor and sacrifice. I fear once my generation joins my father's generation in death, that the future generations will just not understand the true cost of Freedom.

I first saw this autobiography in 1965 when I was 10. I was fortunate to have my brother-in-law, who was an Air Force veteran, explain to me who Audie Murphy was, and how this was not an ordinary war movie. I have heard the term 'hero' thrown about for everything from teachers to sports figures, but in my eyes, the definition best applies to those individuals who put their lives on the line to protect others, or to further advance a greater good. Audie was not the only hero of that war and this movie serves as an example of what our heroes in all our wars are all about. A real good patriotic movie. In addition, Mr. Murphy has his story in book form, under the same title, which is also excellent reading. As an actor, he has many fine roles and appeared as a lead actor whose genre was mostly westerns. For this I would recommend "Seven Ways from Sundown".

Excellent movie and probably pretty close to the truth (How are ya gonna get away with lying about the guy starring in the story)? Audie Murphy is an American hero. You can read all about him on Google. Also one of the best western actors and quick draws in Hollywood. A troubled life, but a good guy who died too soon ... sammy

Audie Murphy. My, that name brings back many memories of Saturday arvo at the matinee movies with Audie in his cowboy movies. But, his western movies were only make believe, where-as TO HELL AND BACK is reality. In his cowboy movies, he was a make believe cowboy hero. However, this movie portrays him for what he really was.....a war hero. A true to life movie on his exploits in the armed service of the United States. If you are so used to seeing the make believe Audie Murphy in his western movies, have a change of pace and see the REAL Audie Murphy.

Not at all like the action films of today but it does tell a true story. Got this for my Dad as he and his entire battalion out of Ft Lewis Washington starred in this film as German soldiers and then got to put their Army uniforms back on at the end when they marched by in the review. So it's a real piece of history for our family.

This is a great movie. Not only is it true but the actual person this story is about is in the leading role! This story only reaffirms what General Eisenhower aka President Eisenhower once said..."It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog".
The quality of viewing of this CD was as if it were being shown for the first time when I first saw it in a movie theatre as a kid. Just a great American Story of Duty, Honor, and Country which starts out in the Texas Countryside. Loved it!
