Waste of a good cast. Though large in scope, battle scenes are at times laughable. Americans run up in waves upright and close up towards machine gun nests. I thought only asian armies did that. In one laughable scene, during a full fledged battle, Mitchum is lying down playing dead "so they'll stop shooting at him". This I can understand, but then this other G.I. comes and sits next to him (upright as well) and starts CALMLY talking to him about how stupid he looks until an explosion rudely interupts their conversation. The real story of Anzio has yet to be told.
