DVD Reviews of To Hell and Back

DVD Review: TO HELL AND BACK
Summary: 5 Stars

Great Movie! Where the son takes over for his father that left the family and the family is broke. He gave up school to provide for his brothers and sisters. After his mother died and his brothers and sisters were taken away from him, he joined the Army. His trails and adventures in the Army never giving up also moving forward and sticking to what was right.

DVD Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

A great movie and one heck of a soldier. The movie just scratches the surface of what Audie Murphy did in WW II. If you are a miiitary buff then this is a must for your collection.

DVD Review: Faithful account
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a faithfull account of the life and military service of Mr. Murphy. Well filmed and acted. Good cinematography; unlike a lot of films of that era, it was mostly filmed outside the studio. If you didn't know this is the real-life story of a selfless American during WW2, you would think this is another Hollywood Rambo movie.

DVD Review: Mostly accurate history
Summary: 3 Stars

Being an avid reader of military history, and knowing someone with eyewitness knowledge of Audie Murphy's wartime exploits. I'd categorize the film as being fairly true to the autobiographical book, even if a bit "Hollywoodized" by a theme song written for especially the film, and by the sometimes hokey acting of Murphy's supporting characters. Murphy was, indeed, a hero. A hero who saw and experienced indescribable horror while still in his late teens. His persona was forged by many months of combat, and his eyes - the eyes of a man who'd seen too much - reflected that in all his films. I recommend the film as entertainment, and also as a piece of history. The story of a man from "The Greatest Generation" who gave so much. Perhaps too much.

DVD Review: To Hell and Back
Summary: 5 Stars

Very interesting true story of Audie Murphys life, how he grew up supporting his mother and siblings from the age of 12, signed up in the army after many rejections from the various services. He distinguished himself in battle with honours all the time with humility and bravery and consideration of his comrades. He educated himself through courses during his service. On early retirement from services to due injury he had to come to terms with the loss of a promising career. He made this movie of his life and then went on to make wonderful western movies. Audie Murphy is a legend

Description of To Hell and Back

The most decorated u.S. Soldier of world war ii portrays himself in his life story. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/25/2004 Starring: Audie Murphy Charles Drake Run time: 106 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Jesse Hibbs

Audie Murphy, the most decorated American soldier in World War II, enjoyed a Hollywood acting career after the fight. In this 1955 autobiographical film, however, he plays himself re-creating his own actions and movements in key battles. As strange as this project might have seemed to him at the time, the results are pretty impressive. The film, despite a flat script, is really a pretty good war drama about Murphy and his buddies making their way from North Africa to Berlin. --Tom Keogh
