Battleground (1949)

Members of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division are fighting for their country amidst the rugged terrain of Bastogne, Belgium, in December 1944. Holley and his American compatriots have already seen one of their own, Roderigues, perish under enemy fire. The men try to rebuff another series of Nazi attacks, but what they really need is a change in the weather. Without clear skies, they'll never get the air support they need.

Very well done WW2 film.Very fine performances all around a quite the grippy drama(esp. for the 1940s)that show the terror and heartbreaking horror associated.

Once the unit moves into Bastogne the movie gets pretty good and the look and feel of the movie is very good. The Bastogne sequences in "Band of Brothers" owe a lot to the set design of this movie. Four things about this movie cost it a ratings star in my book. First, the opening sequence "Somewhere in France, December, 1944" is obviously a very leafy, green southern California. Second, there are too many hokey 1940's movie conventions in terms of acting and screenwriting (yes, it did win an Oscar for screenwriting), the German officer uniforms are amazingly inauthentic and lastly, while the cast look and act like you would expect GIs to, they seem a bit too old or broken down to represent an elite unit like the 101st. They would be far more believable as soldiers in a run of the mill infantry division.

it is rare to see a film that is sixty years old, and looks as though it could have been made last year. a story about the 3rd infantry in the winter wonderland of belgum circa 1944, and their attempt to hold back the german attack until reinforcements arrive. stark black and white photography and no musical soundtrack except for the constant humming in the background of bombing. won the academy award for writing and cinematography. a realistic view of the war from the grunts on the ground, this is not a slick "a bridge to far" or "saving private ryan" made in 1949 this remembers the war as it was. excellent.

Gritty re-enactment of the Battle of the Bulge.

Dads out there, take your kids out for a long walk in the winter, then watch this classic WWII movie, it shows the best and the worst without all the gore. Boy James Whitmore had a long career. Ricard Montalban? All about the battle of Bastogne.
