To Hell and Back (1955)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor/2.55:1 106m
Director: Jesse Hibbs
Cast: Audie Murphy, Marshall Thompson, Charles Drake, Jack Kelly
Synopsis:
The true story of Audie Murphy's wartime exploits, presented pretty much in the same format as The Ballad of G.I. Joe, though without the correspondent.
Review:
Well-mounted Universal International panegyric to one of their favourite Western stars, illustrating how he got to be the most decorated soldier in WW2. The results are consequently episodic and unremittingly heroic, but there is an affecting preoccupation with the bonds formed between the members of the platoon.
