    The image of the guy reaching for his boots and getting hit. Or the guy calling for his mother. One of the more realistic movies close to the war. Itunes needs to get Mr. Roberts as well.
  • A great movie

    No doubt one of the top of its genre. Van Johnson at his best, and that's pretty darn good. Perfect and a classic. A small glimpse of what was happening at the Battle of the Bulge. Read up to put the experience of this one squad into a historical context, then enjoy it again. Great "one-liners" for those of us into that sort of thing.
