Rating: - Saving Private Ryan syles...
This WWII film was the first to use a ballad as a thematic element, a practice which, after High Noon, would become a cliche of the 1950s. The film stars Dana Andrews as Sgt.

Video and sound quality are good and this is a great movie. This is definately an influence on Saving Private Ryan. A+
Rating: - Inspiration for Saving Private Ryan, Great Realism and a Great Film
Even with very few battle scenes and none of the normal "mock" heroics of the genre, A Walk in the Sun is still one of the greatest war films of all time.

Rating: - A milestone for Milestone
One of the great, war films of the genre, A Walk in the Sun takes place primarily during a walk from their landing point in Salerno, Italy to a farmhouse they are to capture 6 miles away. The few combat scenes are brilliantly intertwined with the flashbacks. Very few "cheesy" heroic scenes is also a plus in this movie. Dana Andrews, Lloyd Bridges, Richard Conte & Cast each get their 15 minutes in this film as they each see the war from their own perspective on the approach to the farmhouse.
