This is not a large scale multimillion dollar epic of World War Two No thousands of extras no wide panoramic sweep of battle scenes This says more about The Battle of the Bulge than the movie of the same name Its just an ordinary black and white MGM production What it lacks in size and scope it makes up for in impactA simple story very well told of a...[显示全部] squad of GIs of the 101st Airborne Division thrown into the maelstrom that was the German offensive in the Ardennes in December of 1944 against the Allied ground forces
Its hard to believe that this film was not shot on location but on a Metro sound stage And Metros Culver City was turned into the only outdoor location for the snowcovered rubblestrewn town of Bastogne under siege which was tenaciously held by the 101st under the command of Brig General Anthony McAuliffe
With the exception of Van Johnson as Pvt Holly who was high profile on the Metro lot in his time and George Murphy as Pvt Stazak the rest of the cast were charactertype actors who filled their roles perfectly James Whitmore as Sgt Kinnie is drilling the squad in the opening scenes
The squad members talk of an enjoyable furlough in Paris which is suddenly cut short by the German breakthrough in the Ardenne Ptv Stazak hopes of going home are dashed because his authorised documents have not come through before the squad moves up front Douglas Fowley as Pvt Kippton seems to be the best in the squad at bellyachingMaybe its his dentures that make him a sourpuss But Fowleys dentures turn into a class act clicking away to the old song I Surrender Dear through the courtesy of a German propaganda broadcast heard over the radio in a Sherman tank Denise Darcel comes as a welcome relief of feminine pleasure not out of place in the town of Bastogne itself In an indoor scene Pvt Hollys eyeballs go into lefttoright overdrive as he stares at Denises buxom rear end descending a flight of stairs Then theres Holly again nursing stolen newlylaid eggs as valuable as gold nuggets Hes about to scramble them over a fire when the squad is told to saddle up and move out Not for the first time does Johnson Pvt Holly yell oh no A expression hes used in past movies also The broken eggs in his upturned helmet are now a problem In the end its disaster The German artillery scramble the eggs for Holly Problem solved
On a three man patrol Holly Hodiak as Janness Montalban as Rodriguez intercept and force a jeep carrying a Major and two sergeants to stop and identify themselves The knowledge that Germans are infiltrating in GI uniforms has made the patrol suspicious so the Major is asked how the Dodgers made out in 1944 The Major hesitatesbut the Sergeant in the rear seat asks Holly who Betty Grable is married to Montalban shouts back Cesar Romero The Major says Romero is out Betty Grable is married to Harry James The tense atmosphere relaxes The patrol is convinced theyre friendly
What is displayed authentically on this studio sound stage is the icy bonechilling atmosphere of the battlefield The men hunkered down the deeper the better in their foxholes Throughout nearly all this movie there is the constant rise and fall in the background of continuous artillery fire like a rolling thunder It never seems to cease Sometimes its close sometimes distant That along with the freezing fog hanging like a thick whitishgrey blanket in the air enveloping everything gives off an atmosphere of crisis a feeling of fearful tension The men endeavour to dispel the fear with humour Waiting and wondering when the enemy will appear ghostlike out of the mistshrouded forest
Near the end of the movie Leon Ames gives a good performance as a Army Chaplain Trying to explain the reason for this necessary trip to Europe to kill off a murderous political system that has already killed off millions Before the end the tables turn in the Allies favour Sergeant Kinnie notices his shadow against the snow The sun is breaking through and the mist rises Allied tactical air power is back in business again with a vengeance
Veteran director William Wellman was not found wanting when he directed this movie He had already proved himself with The Story of GI Joe in 1945 Antiwar film Any war film well made and convincing can be antiwar and you do not need blood all over the silver screen to prove it Antiwar or not World War Two was a popular war The reasons stuck out a mile The Army Chaplain said so in so many words
The Ardennes offensive caught the Allies unawares By late 1944 battered the German forces may have been But they still had a few nasty shots in their locker to scare the living daylights out of the Allied Command We thought the Germans had run out of fighting steam but old Field Marshal Gerd Von Rundstedt thought different
