Great War Movie, Biopic
on July 6, 2016
Ranger story based on historical records. This movie takes you from the idea of a Ranger unit being formed, to the training the volunteer members endured to become the first Ranger unit for the U. S. Army. The missions fought by the Rangers are depicted in this movie as well as, the individual struggles of each soldier. Military history buffs must see this story.

If you really want a great special forces ranger depiction of world war ll then get The Devils Brigade which is at a great package price along with others

Now I remember it, watched it as a kid many many moons ago, at that time I thought it was great. Now after serving myself in the Army for 30yrs and reading more about the Rangers the movie has alot of flaws in it, but its still good to watch an olde but goodie now n then.

A good war picture, with plenty of pretty girls on occasion.
Enjoyed the movie very much. An interesting look at wartime personalities.
The picture and sound were excellent.

In 1958 the computer technology didn't exist and Steven Spielberg was just a kid. In spite of these two major handicaps,,,this movie was made. This was a great story about some great men. I saw this movie on the silver screen. It probably had a lot to do with my joining the Army to be a Paratrooper in '66,,,as did a lot of other guys.
This movie had a Heavy Duty Cast to go along with a Heavy Duty Story. I'm sure there was a lot of 'Literary Lisense' applied,,,but the story was told.
Unlike many Commanders,,,Darby led from the Front. That says a lot about the Man.
One of the best things I liked about the movie was that here wasn't a Tom Hanks type trying to play a Ranger.
If you can get by the last scene where the guy says ''Hey,,,Look at that Ranger Patch'' without getting choked up,,,You're a dirty commie pinko fag.

I had ordered a used DVD from a "Marketplace" seller. Instead, I got a new DVD-R that had been recorded by Amazon. Quality was good, though. Black and white with good tonal range - in the 16:9 format. A bare bones DVD - no subtitles, scene selection, special features, etc.
I liked the movie, but the casting was curious. Edward "Kookie" Byrnes as a Ranger? Give me a break. A French actress (with a French accent) playing an Italian girl? Please. But I liked James Garner and Jack Warden in their roles.
A flawed pic, but I enjoyed it.
