Opening sequence was good, and the matter-of-fact delivery later, "...its just another dead American..." felt right on.<br />More trivia: Spielberg so liked Sam Fuller's movies that the youngster in one of the Indiana Jones movies was named "Short Round".Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665859950228150235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-20621993305888369172011-05-23T09:25:33.941-04:002011-05-23T09:25:33.941-04:00Excellent Flick!

Sam was also a WW2 Combat Vet, so even though most of his movies never had a huge budget, he always brought a sense of Realism to his Battle Movies. A piece of movie trivia: Sam lost a buddy named Griffith during the War, so in honor of his Fallen Buddy, there was always someone named in "Griff" in his Combat Films. Hard to go wrong with a Sam Fuller film.Bubblehead Les.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00730873284089958084noreply@blogger.com
