Review of Battleground (1949) by Mark B — 06 Feb 2010
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.
