This film was released the year after I was born, and I am, ironically watching it for the first time on the day before we to go to war with another country.
Besides being full of great performances by actors you didn't even realize you've been watching all your life, the movie has a realism I didn't thing films of this era had.
The first 20 minutes of the film especially were really scary. The situation may have felt unimaginable just a couple of years ago, but tonight it seems like a plausible scenario. This movie went much farther into the subject of war through a typical American's eyes than I would have expected from a film of the early '60s.
