Battle of the Bulge

[Smokey]

Thanks emaidel for the info

The movie is so wide that [black] matte almost cover half of TV screen. And director took excellent advantage of Cinerama with alot of over terrain shots and wide angle gun and battle scenes.

Robert Shaw probably had the best performance in this movie as Col. Hessler. Remember him best in the Jaws movie, but now it is going to be from this movie.

They couldn't have screwed this one up from a military history stand point more if martians had landed in the middle of the whole thing!

LOL. I knew from DVD reviews that this film was mostly fiction, and alot of reviewers on Amazon shot it down for being so. Guess they could always crack open a history book for the facts

And definitely agree with opening overture and credit shots.

Can't believe smoke had not seen the film before now? Its on every Memorial day, Veteran day weekends.

Some of us don't have cable
