Description

Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to The Great Combat Pictures by James Robert Parish. Early in the twentieth century, filmmakers realized that soldiers on the front lines of battle made a powerful subject for motion picture drama. How individuals endure the stress of wartime, while haunted by danger and the grisly sights of death all around them, has been the subject of many memorable films. This book examines some 300 American and British feature films and made-for-TV movies from the 1910s onward. The author focuses on major twentieth-century conflicts, each of which produced a stream of gripping pictures, several of which became Oscar-winners, including: All Quiet on the Western Front, Sergeant York, What Price Glory, Wings, Twelve O'Clock High, Battleground, They Were Expendable, The Dirty Dozen, Paths of Glory, Above and Beyond, A Walk in the Sun, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Platoon, The Green Berets, Full Metal Jacket, The Bridges of Toko-Ri, The Dawn Patrol, Objective, Burma!, Apocalypse Now . . . and many more.
