The Battle of the Bulge... The Brave Rifles

This movie has as much to do with the Battle of the Bulge as it does with penguin migration. During that battle Belgium was covered with snow. Apparently the makers of this movie could not afford snow or plastic snow. The men who fought in that battle would have loved to have had that sunny weather and spotty snow. Bastogne was iced over. Tanks slid sideways trying to get from one place to another. You want to see the battle? Look at The Brave Rifles, a 1965 PBS special. Or for an accurate re-enactment look at Battleground (1949). This movie is an insult to average intelligence.

My interest in tanks and armored warfare was inspired by this movie. The best scenes are the battle scenes at the end.

The acting was good (for a war-themed movie) and the camera work was also quite good.
