December 1944. A civiIian victim of the BattIe of Bastogne scrounges through garbage to find a scrap of food. "I don’t even see those things," a war-numbed Gl says. "l want to remember them!" his buddy snaps. Bastogne veteran Robert Pirosh remembers with his Oscar-winning* screenplay for BattIeground, a gripping tale of 101st Airborne troops resisting Hitler’s fierce, final counteroffensive. Directed by WiIIiam A. WelIman (The Story of Gl Joe), the superb cast includes James Whitmore as a bantam rooster of a sarge and Van Johnson as a wisecracking PFC (as in "Praying for CiviIian"). Rugged and unsparing, Battleground — nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture — makes sure we alI remember. |
