This short documentary might not be listed as a feature film in the Radio Times film book and stuff, but it features in the book 1001 Movie You Must See Before You Die, and that's good enough for me. From director John Huston, also narrating, this is real footage of the battle on San Pietro, a small village in Italy. It showed all the movements for the US soldiers and Allied Forces many battalions as they positioned themselves to attack the Germans. Over 1,000 of these soldiers were killed trying to take this location, but in the end, it was a successful operation, and even though some of the soldiers retraced their steps for the footage, it is captured well. I suppose it is a real life film about World War II that should be seen, especially as the army detested this film and Huston for creating something "anti-war". Good!
