A Walk in the Sun is an excellent war movie. However, it has probably the worst music for a war film in the history of cinema. The outrageously amateurish and corny songs that plague the film from beginning to end almost detract from the fine performances and cinematography. The performances of Dana Andres and Lloyd Bridges are very believable, as is the inane dialog and tedium that normally took place between short and violent encounters. It has the look and feel of a real WW 2 film since it was made during the era. Many modern war films are just not capable of capturing the WW 2 world of fighting men (with the exception of Saving Private Ryan). Don't miss this one, and save your kitchen visits when the dreaded songs begin.
