Description:A movie made about Audie Murphy (playing himself) and his heroics during WWII. Before the age of 20, he was given a battlefield commission and became the most decorated soldier in U.S. history. He fought in Sicily, Italy, and France. The movie tells the story of how he was rejected by the Marines, the Navy, and the paratroopers, and was almost rejected by the Army. It attempts to give personalities to the men in his platoon, most of whom didn't survive the war.
My Rating:6

Review - To Hell and Back

Pretty standard combat footage with the added realism provided by Murphy himself who must have done things as close to how they actually were as possible.
