Description

The cold rain is relentless. Huddled in the mountains, the Gis are soaked, weary, miserable. One might say it was hell on Earth but these men know better. They already walked through hell when they spearheaded the invasions of North Africa and Sicily. Waiting next is something worse: the brutal nightmare of Anzio. In his first starring movie role, James Garner plays Col. William Darby and William A. Wellman (Battleground, The Story of G.I. Joe) directs Darby's Rangers, the heroic saga of the on- and off-battlefield lives of America's fierce World War II fighting forces. Jack Warden, Edward Byrnes, Stuart Whitman and others fall in as elite commandos trained in assault tactics. Exposed to greater front-line danger, their losses were high - but so was their courage.

    What a great World War Two movie. It showed how all out the people of the USA had to be to win this war. There was no time or room for half way measures. It was all or nothing at all. James Garner proved that he could be a dramatic actor as well as a comedic actor and that was no easy thing to do. I have been a fan of his forever. I have seen most if not all of his movies and he did a great job in all of them. The supporting cast in this movie consisted of all the great character actors that made whatever movie they were working in seem just a little better and a bit more believable. What a treat of a movie. I give it high marks all the way.
