Audie Murphy plays himself in this account of the wartime exploits which made him the most decorated soldier in U.S history.
He wanted Tony Curtis to play the role but the producers insisted he had to do it himself. Good production values for 1955. You can't help but come away with the impression that Murphy was absolutely crackers, and very lucky too, although he does eventually get shot in the hip which ends his military career.
Yeah Murphy went a bit nuts during war and then struggled to adapt to civilian life after.Quote:

Operation Crossbow, 1965. A partly(at times too much) fictionalized retelling of a ww2 real life operation. Makes a decent tale although i'd have preferred more truth in it tbh... maybe it was too boring a tale?, ie defending against the V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rocket attacks at source.
