Outstanding WW II FILM

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2006)

Never viewed this film until recently and was very surprised at how well produced and directed this film portrayed. There is a cast of all time greats, some just starting out in their careers, such as: James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Elliott Gould, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkings and Robert Redford and many many more. This film clearly showed what it was like fighting the Germans and how at times each side had compassion for the others in treating and caring for their wounded, nothing like the fight with the JAPS. (As they were called during WW II ). However, "Private Ryan" topped this film, but is a great second outstanding World War II Film I have ever seen. Great acting and down to earth realism.
