Anybody ever see "Battleground" with Van Johnson?
I'm a sucker for submarine movies, especially the old black and white WWII ones. Also, anything with aircraft carriers.
I wish someone would make a movie about A-10's blowing up a lot of stuff and killing a lot of bad guys.
I'd also like to see a movie where we lay waste to Iran, Syria and all of the middle Eastern Islamofascist scumbags including the Palestinians and their ululating mothers.
How about Jet Pilot with John Wayne and a hot redheaded chick. All the flying scenes were done by Chuck Yeager.
Yes, Battleground (1949) is one of the best war films of all times and it stands up even today. They used a really large freezer to shoot the snow scenes and that showed the troopers' breath smoking as it tends to do in cold weather. That one thing "Band of Brothers" CGI production failed to show even as good as it was...
BTW Van Johnson also did The Last Blitzkrieg (1959) and played a German commando team operating behind American lines in GI uniforms during the Battle of the Bulge.
I am temped at times to get a copy of each film and edit them together showing Van fighting himself... {...evil Vincent Price laughter...}
Gad! I am rotten to the core!
I've never gotten to see the whole thing I always find it about halfway thru. Would love to see the beginning.
