Movie Reviews of Battleground
Movie Review: Battleground. "A see again movie"
Summary: 4 Stars
Battleground is a very unique W.W.II movie. It shows the suffering and determination of the men of the 101st Airborne division. Surrounded by the enemy. Totally cut off. See how they survive. It' U.S.A. all the way! the Characters in this movie are unforgettable. Each, their own definite personality. Hardy and tough. Then showing both compassion and lightheartedness to downright funny to brave their anxiety in the dilemma they were hoisted to. Great acting. great casting! It is truly a must see movie.
Summary of Battleground
Van Johnson, Ricardo Montalban and George Murphy star in this remarkable war film, nominated for six Oscars(R) (including Best Picture) about courageous American G.I.s caught up in the battle at Bastogne. Year: 1949Director William Wellman (The Big Heat) offered up this 1949 treatment of the Battle of the Bulge, which won Oscars for best screenplay and best cinematography. The film concentrates on the camaraderie and the divisions between the troops as they ready for the big offensive. Told in a taut narrative, the men of the 101st, led by Van Johnson, wait out the winter in the Ardennes forest to confront the German army in what would be the last major offensive of World War II. The men are demoralized and trapped, with no hope of support from the Allies as they are forced to band together and defend their position. A classically assembled war drama that nevertheless manages to be both engrossing and entertaining, Battleground is a mainstay of the genre. --Robert Lane
