This is a pretty good war film if you don't care about historical accuracy. The basic story is true but there are a lot of details that are completely wrong. Many World War II historians will find parts of the film to be completely incorrect. I am one of those and, while I enjoy the film as entertainment, I have to keep telling myself that it's just that. However, it's a well-acted, well-filmed and overall well-executed story. Henry Fonda and Robert Shaw are both great in this film. The combat scenes are, for the most part, pretty well done also, and some of those are fairly accurate. I have the film on tape and plan to keep it. It's a pretty good film, BUT.....
