--"Dedicated to the battered bastards of Bastogne," this dramatic historic film directed by William Wellman tells the story of a U.S. Army division in the European theater near the end of World War II. In a last-ditch effort to turn the tide of the war, the Germans launch a final attack that became known as the Battle of the Bulge. George Murphy, who portrays Private Ernest J. "Pop" Stazak, leads a terrific cast that also includes John Hodiak, Ricardo Montalban, and James Whitmore. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards and won two: one for its tight, unpredictable screenplay and one for its evocative black-and-white cinematography.

Thanks for posting about the movie Battleground! I saw that movie in 1976 at the age of 9, and I've only seen it one time since. The second time I couldn't watch the whole thing due to having to be someplace, or something.
I have loved that movie for 28 years. Now I'm going to have to try and find it so I can see it again.
Battleground is a great WWII movie!
