I am a fan of movies produced in the thirties and forties when they served up stories in black and white. It was a time of big events and movies were the prime media that reflected those moments.
I liked this movie because it portrayed America at war, a war that almost shocked us out of our innocence; not quite, America was still a country where we were mostly safe from each other. It was much later that we became a country not safe to walk around in during the night.
I love this portion of this great movie. Why? Because it is full of hope for the future. The men who fought that war were full of it and they deserved whatever hope they had. I hope that most of them found what they were fighting for.
An absolute classic. My favorite team is in last place so I must find some humor in the game. This clip has over a million hits already and there are many more available and all have voluminous hits.
