I grew up watching war films with my father. This is one of them. This is a quality DVD for a great film with a great cast. Actors like this cast no longer exist. The story is well done. It depicts the days when the American forces are trapped behind enemy lines when the mighty and formidable German panzer tanks take over.
Overall, well done. If you are a fan of WWII films with a great story and cast, or looking for a gift for a fan, I have no hesitation in recommending this one.

Walt Disney style cartoon music as a soundtrack to actual film footage from the war! Incredible and unbearable; so too the annoying narrator.

Although criticisms can be made of the movie it accurately portrays the events of the epic "Battle of the Bulge" in December 1944-January 1945. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is the usual Hollywood need for a hero who saves the day single-handedly. In this case the hero is played by Henry Fonda, who was a fine actor but perhaps getting a bit old to play an active duty junior officer of WWII and is burdened by a plot that forces him to be in exactly the right place during the entire course of the nearly month-long battle. Having said that, this is still the best movie that has been made on the biggest battle that American forces had against the German Army in WWII.

Provides some great film footage of WW II hardware. I even saw a Jadgpanther tank destroyer in one of the film shorts.

Battle of the Bulge, with Henry Fonda and Robert Shaw, is a movie made for people who love war movies. It tells the story of the last great land battle of WW II, fought in the Ardennes of France and Belgium. It features an all-star cast too numerous to mention.
For anyone who is old enough to have served his country during WWII, and for the next generation who grew up in the 20 years that followed the end of the war in 1945, i.e., those who came of age in the 1960s, the facts of the events in this story might be well-known. The members of this movie's all-star cast would also be well known celebrities, but not so much to succeeding generations of movie goers. A great movie!

THE GOOD: The late Robert Shaw was always great in these type roles. The movie was filmed in CINERAMA and TECHNICOLOR. Great locomotive type train scenes. Lot's of action.
THE BAD: A lot of the movie actors/roles are kind of lame attempts at simply putting movie stars into a so called "epic."
THE UGLY: The tanks are all wrong. The weather and environment is all wrong. The ending is kind of cartoonish.
Overall: A fun, standard war movie of that era with an all star cast and great widescreen production.

If you want an historically correct presentation of the Battle of The Bulge,
this is not it. Good entertaining film with a plethora of stars.
The training of German infiltrators did happen, but perhaps,not in The Bulge Campaign.
Robert Shaw and Henry Fonda were excellent in their roles and all of the others did very creditable jobs in their portrayals.
Although we watch a great deal of historical films about WWII, we also enjoy those, such as this, where we may watch some of the stars we have watched for many years.
Very good film.

Watched as a kid and it brings back good memories for me. My Dad was a WW2 Air Force Veteran and he and I spent quality time watching this and other movies in this era. He did not talk about much of his experiences but once in awhile he'd relate something while watching movies with me. Enjoyed
