Aired February 18, 1959.
Worth watching to see the real man. Also worth reading his MOH citation.
Went to see it today. This is a great war movie. Shows war for what it is -death and destruction. It’s better than Saving Private Ryan. The battle scenes alone make it better than Saving Private Ryan. Vince Vaughn deserves an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He played Doss’s drill sergeant who led his men in battle. Gibson should win Best Director and the movie should win Best Picture. But since Hollywood hates Gibson it’ll probably not even be nominated.
