***I watched “Battle of the Bulge” (that awful 60s movie with Henry Fonda)***
I saw that back in the 1960s. A good FICTIONAL film, with parts cut out, definitely not the real BATTLE OF THE BULGE. In the end titles they even say they “synthesized” events for that film.
The movie version I saw was chopped up with important parts missing. It took me 50 years to see the uncut version on TCM which was better and could have used a different title.
You would be surprised how many good films we saw were cut down before showing to the great “Unwashed”, only to be re released to DVD in their full versions.
I liked the movie but what drove me nuts was no German tanks. They could have thrown plywood or thick card stock over the sides and turret to kind of look like tigers or panthers. It bugged me as a kid and it still bugs me today.
