Warworthy

A very worthy film about the 2nd world war, in which a group of American soldiers literally go for a walk in the sun to find an Italian farmhouse. Many are killed on the way. Wars are pitiable things in which men are heroes, and this collection of soldiers talk in the way that men do when they're up against their fate. Some of them approach their lot with humour, and some are very serious, but all of them are bonded in a very strong group. The film is long but never boring, the acting is rather theatrical, and the music leans on the side of the patriotic.
