Plot: We follow a band of American soldiers as they engage the Germans in a snowy, foggy winter near Bastogne in World War II.

This film focuses much more on the psychology and morale of the soldiers than on action footage and heroics. Robert Pirosh won an Oscar for writing the story and screenplay.

    A great movie that shows the soldier's situation during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, and for some, how they died, or bravery in dire straights.

    It still has an old Hollywood feel to it, but it does bring the modern brutal feeling different than the other war movies of the time.

    Nominated for 6 Academy Awards and still stands up well today. Stars James Whitmore and Van Johnson have never been better.

    Excellent film about the nature of the Second World War from the point of view of those who served (all actors were veterans). The plot is excellent, the characters are superb, serious and funny at once. Humour and the will to win wins through in the face of awful odds.
    I recommend this to any WW2 buff or a lover of a good story!
    Only major gripe is the use of sparkling blanks and a few equipment anachronisms/errors.

    Great film! Should be in the top 10 of the greatest war-films of all time. Tells war how it is more effectively than Saving Private Ryan ever could. A rip-roarer of a film!
