Do your self a favour and get the new improved dvd of Sam Fuller's "The big red one ", he knew what he was talking about ,two beach landings and the whole of the second world war fighting in North Africa and all the way through Italy.The man was as hard as nails.

Hi Stripey,
The film starts with a seventeen year old sailor. He is tring to get in the mess where they are showing a bit of soft porn that Paul Raymond has sent to British troops fighting the Argentinians.
Sailor on door: No son you can't come in. You are only seventeen, The skippers told me
Boy: But bosun I am fighting tomorrow I may never get to see a blue film.
Next morning captain Alonso Rodrigez, a very brave pilot, dropped a bomb which hit the deck of the ship. A piece of shrapnel hit the boy in the head. As he lay dying.
Boy: I only wanted to see a blue film, then the blood bubbled through his lips and he died..
Anyone seen it because that is what I call anti-war sentiment.
