One of my all-time favorites, especially the ending.

Darn good film actually, was a bit surprised. But then, this was back when film making was taken seriously, and not made for the lowest common denominator.
Holdens ‘’Sfeten’’ was a jerk. Selling cigarettes, trading whatever had only if his fellow Americans POWs could pay. In truth I would have thought the rest if the GI’s would have just beaten the crap out of him and taking his stuff.
Great movie. GREAT movie.
I’ve seen it several times and it is an outstanding movie.
I had my now-teenage sons watch this movie a couple of years ago as part of a history assignment.
OK, yeah, I just wanted an excuse to watch the movie again myself. LOL.
They loved it. It became one of their favorites. Now and then, they still quote it to each other.
My Mom and I loved this one, as it was more a mystery with comic relief than a typical war film. She had seen it when it came out. Fantastic picture!
Some of the most enjoyable times I had with my parents were those watching movies together and talking about them, the stars, the studio system. I miss them both so, and seeing some of these treasures makes them feel closer. Not to be corny, but thanks for the memories!
