A Walk in the Sun DVD (2-Disc Collector's Set)

Lewis Milestone, Academy Award Best Director winner for All Quiet On The Western Front (1930) directs this compelling drama of American soldiers in combat during the allied invasion of Italy in September 1943. Dana Andrews, Richard Conte, John Ireland, Lloyd Bridges, and Norman Lloyd head a stellar ensemble cast comprising the lead platoon of Texas Division of the U.S. Fifth Army. This eclectic group of citizen-soldiers are thrust into a life-or-death mission to blow up an enemy bridge while attempting to capture a strategic farmhouse heavily garrisoned by German troops. The dilemma of the common soldier trudging to an unknown fate under a blazing Italian sun is captured by the different thoughts and personalities of a disparate group of men under arduous stress.

USA, 1945, B&W, 117 min.
