The Greatest Generation embodied countless examples of valor, both personal and patriotic. The Tuskegee Airmen – as great a group of military pilots as this country ever fielded – delivered more than their fair share of each, making their story among the most significant from WWII. *Red Tails…

I’m on a roll with watching ‘B War Movies’ recently, so in that spirit I took a gander at Fortress. Fortress is a bit of a stretch. It seems to me that B17s were largely sitting ducks between the flack from below and the fly-by strafing from above. Numbers was the key to success, the more B17s … |

True stories from World War II were mostly all made into movies well before 2012. Yet this one flew under the radar. Understandable perhaps for a story set far from the heart of the war, one that’s not even strategic, just a quotidian miracle from the great white North. Reindeer walk by, for g…

Closed Season’s home-front Holocaust drama gets amplified by delving into some serious sexual intrigue. Result? A great movie, one that’s titled Ende der Schonzeit in its native Germany. Google translates that as “End of the grace period”. Hmm, besser in Deutsch. A near feudal German…

Who knew? The Brits no doubt, but we Yanks were unaware of the stammering tribulations that the current Queen Elizabeth’s father endured, let alone that England’s fortitude in World War II required him to overcome them. Most impressively, who would have guessed that this true story would make s…

One thing is for sure: There’s nothing tougher than a WWII South Pacific Jarhead. Spielberg and Hanks do an admirable job creating the Pacific version of ‘Band of Brothers’. The South Pacific version is much grittier and gut-wrenchingly raw. As someone commented in the movie – those Ar… |

A Film Unfinished shows more death – literal, real death – than perhaps any other movie. Comprised of footage the Nazis shot for a staged documentary of the Warsaw Ghetto, it is an essential Holocaust movie because it’s real, contemporaneous and shows how the Nazis forced the Jews to live in d…
