- GoofsAll the soldiers in Audie's infantry outfit have crossed rifles on their forage hats. The crossed rifle insignia was not adopted by the US army until the year 1876, before this it was a hunter's horn.
- Quotes
The General: Howdy Jim, Corporal. How are those wounds?
Soldier: Stinging some, General, but they're a-mending.
The General: That's fine, fine. Anybody care for a chaw?

Featured review
Deserves more credit
Deserves more credit than it currently receives. The directing alone is awesome, with the number of unique and different shots that Huston came up with really takes this Pic away from the norm.
Some of the realism in the portrayals that would be lost on some American viewers include the scene where the General talks to the troops before the battle, asking them what they are going to eat for dinner. He goes from group to group asking the same questions - why? Remember (duh), no radios, no public address system. Commanders had to spread their message by repeating it over and over - inspiring a different group each time.
A very enjoyable 69 minutes. Sad that the studio had to meddle with the original cut (what else is new?).
