30 Dec Battle at Bloody Beach
Battle at Bloody Beach, WWII Movie starring Audie Murphy
(1961) Even though the locale was the Philippines during World War II, this movie reminded me more of one of the cowboy movies we used to watch on Saturday mornings at the movie theater when we were growing up.
It stars Audie Murphy, the decorated World War II soldier, who went on to Hollywood to star in primarily westerns.
In one scene, the Japanese soldiers are lined up at the top of a hill as if they were Indians, ready to attack the cowboys down below in the valley.
Audie Murphy’s first film was based on his autobiography “To Hell and Back.” That’s a great movie.
