Young Audie Murphy's (playing himself) father abandons his large family, and Audie becomes the main breadwinner. When World War II breaks out, Murphy wants to enlist, but looks too young and small to make a good fighter. Nevertheless, admitted as an infantryman by the Army, Murphy proves a courageous soldier. The film, based on Murphy's life, reenacts his many battles, including the ultimate feat that earned him a Congressional Medal of Honor: single-handedly turning back a German attack.

Murphy is fine playing himself, although the way in which he purses his lips and stares steely-eyed at the enemy following each death of a friend reminds me of Bill Bixby's David Banner intoning, "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Murphy playing himself is an oddity in a film of this type, but it seems to work.

Love this movie. I have watched several times.

Audie Murphy plays himself in this retelling of his incredible stand-alone heroism against a deadly Nazi advance during the Allied push to end WW2 in Europe. Unfortunately Hollywood and the U.S. Army do a little too much crowding to get into the picture, nearly crowding Audie out of it, in their bid to stand in reflected accomplishment. Still, the tale of a disadvantaged Texas youth who went on to exemplify American value stands untouchable.

My favourite Veteran's Day movie of all time!

Audie Murphy turns in his best screen performance playing himself in the story of how he became the most decorated US soldier to date in WWII. The film is a bit of big, broad populist entertainment and on those terms, it's pretty okay.
