Hey, your post about Davey Crockett got me to thinking about Fess Parker. He was in several great war films: Davy Crockett at the Alamo (1954), Battle Cry (1955), The Great Locomotive Chase (1956) & Hell Is for Heroes (1962) and one of my all time Sci-Fi favorites, Them! (1954)...
Hey, Them! should be listed as a war film cause fighting those giant ants was sure heavy combat! Just ask James Whitmore...
Forgot all about the Great Locomotive Chase. The Little General and the other one.
I would like to see a thread about great war books. They never made a movie about one of my favorite books, "Thunderbolt" by Robert Johnson. About the P47 in WWII. Robert Johnson, a great American hero, died on my bithday, December 27, a few years ago.
Has anyone mentioned "The Guns of Navorone" yet?
