Title: A Walk in The Sun
Product review: One of the great war films of all time, and almost entirely overlooked. Watching it is like spending an afternoon traveling with a regular army combat group with whom you soon become personally involved. This depiction of lightly equipped WWII volunteer and draftees surviving a landing and marching inland to take a bridge and farmhouse is, chapter and verse, as true to life as scripted films get. What faces these men, and those left to come forward and lead after losses and breakdowns, quietly and gracefully illustrates the real strength of Americans in uniform - without a hint of jingoism, personal "glory," or patriotic fanfare. Just a company of men on a mission, unsure of what's going on around them, taking unpredictable damage, meeting obstacles, and relying their own collective determined inertia to overcome them.
