Members of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division are fighting for their country amidst the rugged terrain of Bastogne, Belgium, in December 1944. Holley and his American compatriots have already seen one of their own, Roderigues, perish under enemy fire. The men try to rebuff another series of Nazi attacks, but what they really need is a change in the weather. Without clear skies, they’ll never get the air support they need.

Viewing Notes
This movie was recommended to me by a FB friend/former client. This 1949 war flick was damn entertaining. It was interesting to watch a flick about WWII made only a few years after the war was over. This one is about the 101st around Bastogne. Another that might be a good remake.
