I love this movie though it brings me to tears every time. My father fought with Big Red One 16th Infantry anti tank North Africa , Tunisia, Sicily, Omaha Beach *Silver Star , to the Bulge. Didn't get to know him long passed away when I was almost 16. He didn't say much but he did say the true heroes never came home. When I think of all he and the others endured it almost breaks me. Originally from Northern Ireland he was proud to serve his country. Fond memories of him were his laugh, gentleness, good manners, love of his garden. I never heard my father swear in my life. And the simple things like a cup of coffee and a good hot meal he thoroughly enjoyed. He suffered much from the after effects of this war. How could he not have. God bless all of them from the greatest generation and all those serving Before and after ❤️🙏❤️
@pegzocorinov7205 - I know what you mean. No matter how many times I see this, I still cry at the ending - even though I know what's coming!! I have SO MUCH respect for my father, his brother (who survived the Death March at Bataan & then became a POW at one of Japan's most inhumane camps), and 4 other uncles who also fought in WWII, including the 2 uncles who didn't come home!!
I have loved Robert Mitchum all my life, he was one of the best of them all, a legend of the cinema, God bless him
Thank you for sharing this non- glamorous, gritty, human portrayal of those who served, died, returned broken or whole from this war. All war is hell.😢❤
So are these---- adverts, as if we are going to rush out and buy the crap
@@davidsouthwood9813 😢
Excellent among all war flicks. This focuses on the characters and makes no attempt to glamorize the role of the G.I. or spin off jingoistic tropes. Mitchum is so good as the combat weary captain. Burgess Meredith most commendable. The perfume scene was brilliant.
The then virtually unknown Robert Mitchum was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in this movie.
Thanks for mentioning that, I did not know. The close ups of his face as more burdens of responsibility and decisions to make piled on to the young Lieutenant was brilliant understated acting. You didn’t see it as much as you felt it.
As a VFW POST 3386 Auxiliary member and past President, I'm all for teaching patriotism to youth. I was discussing with my grandson the true story of GI Joe . Together we watched the movie. He commented that he was very glad he learned the history , now he can carry on a conversation with veterans about GI JOE ! My grandson enjoys history , he's 11yrs old going into the 6th grade. He said he will share with his history teacher and classmates "The Real Story of GI JOE"!
I had so many veterans from WW2, Korea, Vietnam , Afghanistan share their horrors of war stories over the years. They needed to tell someone who cared. Some very horrific things.
My Mom had a job at 7 years old doing accounting on a clipboard with German POW"s during the war. They were working our fields and damn happy to be out of the war. It was cold, and one of those fellas saw she wasn't having a good time of it. He took off his greatcoat and put it on her. I'd like to thank that gentleman and I hope he and his family have done well.
The memory of "Robert Mitcham" is alive! He was one of the best actors of his time! Thanks for playing this video
He used to ride Harley's and shoot heroin with a man who took me under his arm when I was young.
I saw pictures you can't imagine.
Yes indeed he was!
😊❤
@@jondoealoeso?
@@guaporeturns9472 So, even though he's older than me and I only saw him in pictures, we hung out with the same crowd; and I feel like I kinda knew him.
Always great to see a film with Robert Mitchum, the Hollywood legend. Helen, this may surprise you, but I'm known far and wide as G.I. John! ☕🌹🌻♥✔
Nice comment Big John !👸❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💃
My uncle Lawrence died in Germany in WWII. Don't know when or where. When my Father heard of his brother's passing he was driving a supply truck and had a hard time keeping from running over prisoners being walked down the road. This is one of the best movies representing how bad war really is. Methods may have changed. But war I still war.
All soldiers hate war but politicians never stop one war ends the other starts its like a game for em. Look at this ugly Russia Ukraine conflict that guy Putin he's a butcher. our uncle hero. I've lost my uncle to 1965 India Pakistan War never saw em just heard war stories. Hr died in a land mine blast end of the war. Our family was devastated just like the ruins in wartime get blasted. But that is war complete insanity.
Men kept of fighting surviving and dying after Africa Italy France Holland right uptil Germany. WWII was a costly war and brave men paid the price. In Band of brothers ending Capt Winters said i sont but do folks back home realise how many good men we have lost in this war just to free Europe from the paws of evil ie Nazi Germany.... Respects from India. Huge fan of WWII movies. Sadly you Americans havent tasted victory since Korea. God knows when will that time come?
Shameful exit from Nam and Afghanistan never again.
Amen
Amen
Crazy to think he died 2 months before the release of the film, that he was still out in the field while people made this film.
No matter what, the last few minutes of this movie with the dead GI's being hauled in on mules and dropped at the foot of live GI's basking in the sun is a gobsmack off the charts.
The days when the characters made the movie not the grrafics
graphics?

Yup. It was all real war damage as it was set just after the war.
Very authentic. In so many small ways, this was real.
From the way they wore their uniforms, to how they carried their rifles.
So many veterans in the film industry by then, they didn't need to have an expert to tell them how to walk or march.
The scene where they are crossing the river, and going down the embankment looked authentic.
I felt I was there.
I liked this film.
BTW. Burgess Meredith gave his usual great performance.
That's because many of the extras are real American soldiers who were being moved from Europe to the Japanese theatre. Most of them were killed in the fighting on Okinawa.
You can feel the tiredness of front line troops
he was in a government film in 1943 about how a serviceman should act in Britain.
@@thegoat11111......no they weren't!!!!
@@robertsettle2590 Do some research!
I enjoyed the hell out of that movie, I love the camaraderie among soldiers as I am one myself, and it reminded me of when I was in Desert Storm when we were out in the desert in the middle of nowhere with no shelter besides what we brought with us. Also I remember the guy's always joking and laughing just to take their mind off of what was going on around them and we were all missing home, and I remember very vividly mail call it was really a morale booster.
I know what you are talking about in my case it's been over 60 years, but I still miss my buddies,
but unfortunate most are gone much too soon. one thing I can say in my day's men did not wear panties in my barracks unless they wanted to go out the first window without opening it, we never put up with that BS.
@ernestwilliams268 some of my buddies, we still keep in touch with a group chat. Thank you for your service, my friend.👍
Thank both of you for your service
Best movie ever made depicting the common soldier - and the best war correspondent of them all Ernie Pyle aka Lil Guy
I love "the Duke" but Robert Mitchum was an awesome actor and super cool guy.
And Mitchum wasn't a p*ssy draft dodger like Wayne was.
Awesome movie…..so glad to see Robert Mitchum here, loved the movies he was in, amazing actor….👍❤️🙏🏼
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FOR UNCUT CLASSIC MOVIES . HIGHLY APPRECIATED..❤️❤️❤️💪🍿🙏
Great movie thanks for posting this. Its hard to believe that 40years later I would be in the US Navy stationed in Naples Italy and going on a train to Rome Italy to go sightseeing. God bless all the US servicemen who with God's help set Italy free. ⚔️😁👍
IRONICALLY HOW MANY ACTORS KNEW ERNIE IN REAL LIFE SINCE A LOT OF ACTORS SERVED IN THE MILITARY DURING WW II
Burgess Meredith (Ernie) was only 38 when this movie was made. Strange that they made him look more like 58 when the stated age of his role is only 43.
This movie was initially released on 18 June 1945, 2 months after Ernie Pyle was KIA on le Shima during the Battle of Okinawa
It was 22 years later, in Gotham city that it was revealed by Batman and Robin that Ernie Pyle faked his death, and in fact, had become the dastardly “Penguin”
You must be so stupidly ignorant about what legacy Ernie Pyle had left for mankind to joke about him like that! The joke is actually on you penguin-brain!
I live in the Netherlands, and I know of Ernie Pyle. I bought some time ago a paperback book of him, about the war in N Africa. Good writing, gives you a good idea about the War there.
Pyle was from my home state...there are schools named for him. From Primary through Uni schools of journalism.
@@mitchellsmith4690 Thanks for this information! So, I bought not "just a paperback" Pyle is a famous War correspondent. Sad he died during the War.
@@madelief47 He went from covering the harsh and brutal war in Europe to the madness of Okinawa, I believe. From some of his diary entries, and primary sources of those who knew him, the war wrighed heavily on him. Perhaps, if he had physically survived the war he would have lived with a maimed soul...
The artillery crew in action starting at the 35:00 mark is a thing of beauty. Real combat vets were used in this movie and I'm thinking that might have been a live ammo sequence.
It's like watching a combat footage
That gun crew deployed faster than I've ever seen in the military - fluid, rapid and well-oiled!
And not a word needed; they knew their job.
I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking “that’s how it’s done boys!”
If you ever served in the Infantry. This movie will give you chills. You will literally remember the misery of a downpour in a muddy hole. Modern Europe was built by allied Infantry, slogging thru misery, to force democracy on the most formidable enemy of democracy that ever existed.
HHC 2/325 INF, 82nd Airborne 4.2 mortars
Until now.
Yes, my father fought start to finish every campaign first division 16th Infantry anti-tank. He was about 32 years old. Immigrant from Northern Ireland. And listed before the war saw what was coming. It's hard for me to believe what my gentle loving father lived through and the warrior he was. I am so proud
@jwf1964 - Until the threat of DJT surfaced!! Possibly, the greatest threat our nation has ever faced!!
Fun facts; Robert Mitchum was drafted into the army as a medic stationed in Los Angeles. Mitchum was discharged as a PFC. Mitchum has starred in various WW 2 and Korean War movies as representing every branch of the military.
Burgess Meredith enlisted into the USAAF First Motion Picture Unit in Hollywood, which makes propaganda films. Meredith was discharged as a CPT.
Meredith and John Wayne were the same age and yet it was Wayne who dodged the draft.
Fort McNair is named after LTG Lesley McNair who was in charge of all the army technical advisors for this movie. Another fun fact; LTG McNair was killed in action by friendly fire in WW 2. With friends like that who needs enemies.
This was the only time Robert Mitchum was nominated for an Oscar. However Meredith would be nominated twice for an Oscar later in his career.
Both Mitchum and Meredith died in 1997. Mitchum was 79. Meredith was 89. Ernie Pyle was killed in action at Okinawa in 1945.
You all know this is a true story ...right? Its the story of Capt. Henry T. Waskow. Mitchum plays the part but the name is changed for some legality issues. Burgess Merideth plays the part of Ernie Pyle who was killed about a year or so later. Ernie Pyle writes a specific memoir to Henry and his death. The ending of this movie will leave some teary eyed, no matter how tuff you might be.
yes.
As long as one is able to understand the meaning of it all.
Thanks I didn't know but it certainly had feeling of grim and gritty reality. The Captain died during the Battle of San Pietro. A Docufilm was made of this and is available on YT. The Battle of San Pietro (1945) John Huston. Some of the scenes of which were used in this film.
Thanks for sharing this movie. A real depiction of infantry. A must watch.
Burgess Meredith, for many known as Rocky's trainer, is excellent.
He certainly had a distinguished career. Even in this one he looked old. A great actor, to be sure.
The penguin in the Batman series.
I received several GI Joe dolls as a kid; I never realized he was a real life person.
Great movie. No need for foul language that is so common on todays movies
Por eu parei de ver os filmes atuais prefiro os antigos
Por isso que eu parei de ver os filmes atuais prefiro ver filmes antigos
Boy that staging ground they started out at SURE looks like the road from San Diego to Yuma Arizona! I’ve seen those mountains a hundred times.
Robert Mitchum 's "Heaven Knows" ...unforgettable film with Deborah Kerr...a soldier, a nun , one desert island .... just Heaven knows
"Heaven knows Mr. Allison" is what she said in the movie. Can't remember if that was the title or just "Heaven Knows" as you state. Great movie which I have watched many times.
Mitchum portrayed a MARINE, not a soldier.
What a horribly different world it would be without the moral and physical sacrifice those young men laid on the altar of freedom. Those who survived to relive the nightmarish recollections of their endeavor suffered far beyond the gratitude and remembrance of a grateful world. Lest we never forget them or what they gave us then their actions or deaths will not have been in vain.
This is a REALLY GOOD movie!! Robert Mitchum fit this role "to a T." The sound quality is very poor in places, especially at the start of the movie, but it gets better, or you get used to it (I'm not sure which)!! Has a level of reality you rarely see in a movie, although the language is much cleaner than what I think you might actually encounter in combat. It demonstrates not only how very innocent/naive these young boys were (MANY away from home for the first time), but also what deep bonds were formed!! Robert Mitchum was brilliant in his portrayal of what a toll this took on the officers!!
I saw this years ago. Great movie guys. One of the best WW2 films ever.
In the last scene, where Mitchum's character lies dead, the actions and words of the men who came to him are authentic, because Ernie Pyle wrote the story just as it happened, and I read it many years afterwards. For me, seeing the mules carrying down the bodies of the dead, I knew the Captain would be one of them because of that story by Ernie Pyle.
Spoiler alert....too late
Dude..
Thanks a lot man.
It needs to be noted that Ernie Pyle died fighting behind a machinegun in some pacific shit hole island. The gunner got it and Ernie rolled in his spot and kept the fire going until they got him.
My Dad was a huge fan of Ernie Pyle.
Sorry to break it to you but that's not what happened. He was killed on Okinawa. Ie Shima island to be exact . He was with an officer on a hill just looking over the battlefield , when an enemy machine gunner started firing at the officer and Pyle. They both dove for cover . Pyle lifted he head and got popped in the head . That's all. He didn't die any heroic stuff or action, man. He was just a journalist that got killed by the machine gunner . I remember a tour I went on many years ago about the battle of Okinawa...on Okinawa and Pyle's story was mentioned .
@@daviddomingo7768 I was telling the same story. Yeah Ernie was a journalist covering the war. He did a great job, but he was killed observing. He never carried a rifle, but a typewriter, and that to me was brave enough.
So did you just make that shit up recently or have you been spreading this lie for a while?😂
@@daviddomingo7768 What kin was Gomer to Ernie, an incurring mind would like to know!
Extremely well made movie loaded with the stark realism and tragedy of WWII and the realities of war in general. I was impressed with how well they integrated real combat footage within the film, to me it was better than todays hollywood special effects. I had three uncles in WWII but not one of them would ever talk to me about it as an adolescent. I didnt understand why then, but as I got older and learned the gravity of real combat I understood much better - God bless all those who went through situations so horrific and inhumane it left them scarred for life - and those were the ones lucky enough to come back.
Italy was one of the most brutal campaigns of WWII ! The conditions/ terrain were brutal and the Germans put up the most ruthless fight !
They knew how to fight a defensive battle, how to use the terrain to the best advantage...
On of Hollywoods most unique characters. One of the original, old school bad boys
Ernie Pyle would have been about 43 years old when this happened. An old man in military terms.
Later on not long after this he was killed on Okinawa
Looks about 70.
Burgess Meredith looked like he was pushing 60 years of age yet he was only 37.
The makeup done that as the real Ernie Pyle was older than he looked in real life.
The real Ernie Pyle was a man of slight build and balding head. Burgess Meredith had his head shaved on top to resemble Pyle and he really did resemble Pyle.
Robert Mitchum one of best
When I was a child. My G.I. Joe always ended up in Barbies camper.
I've never seen this in color ....wow it's beautiful
Glad you enjoyed the color version!! More to come..! Cheers!
I would have loved to hear stories from my grandpa. Under British rule, he fought in Italy and fortunately came back home to Kenya. He taught catechism.
Je n'avait jamais vu ce film de guerre, merci pour le partage? Mes salutations de France. 👍📽🎞🎬
Si vous regardez pour le titre original c`est "G.I.Joe" de 1945 😉
Hometown:Albuquerque New Mexico...Andy Gallegos 101st Screaming Eagle..5June 1944.
Classic , you have Bergess Meridith the Penguin and Robert Mitchum in his day the toughest man in hollywood. Cool
Meredith 40 years later was in G.I Joe the movie which was made by sunbow
Ernie Pyle went to the Pacific eventually & sadly got killed there. Great video here - thanks.
Terrific movie.... brings out the tragedy of war..! 😢
Gracias por hacerme recordar los días más hermosos de mi infancia,el cine,Cosmos, tlacopan,marina POPOTLA tacuba,y muchos de más,donde pasaban tres películas,una de guerra, una de caballitos y la otra de misterio, hoy el cine no es lo mismo,en fin muchas gracias
By the sound of the final statements, a movie made before WW2 actually finished!
For those that don’t know, this is a true story. Ernie Pyle won a Pulitzer Prize in 1944 for his reporting that they made into this movie. He was killed in 1945 covering the Battle of Okinawa.
Great movie!
Hi, Nicole. I haven't seen this one, but I'm a huge Robert Mitchum fan. 👍✔🏁⬆
O a km lñ
A classic 😊
Except this war was never to be over, it is still only a cease-fire. Imagine if the dead at that time were able to glimpse the future to present day and see the debacle our politicians have made since WW2, would they have fought so valiantly and given their all so only a handful would benefit and own the wealth over the multitudes? All wars are futile, sadly we never learn….🇬🇧🇺🇸🕊
To much money to be made
What the hell are you talking? A cease-fire?
@robertsettle2590 Right. The only war that finished with a cease fire was Korea. World War 1 and 2 ended when they surrendered unconditionally. Technically, the Korean War never ended.
Smedly Butler said “War is a racquet”. Bribe the soldiers with spoils of war - rape, gold…but the fat rats risk very little and get the banquet.
I understand what u mean…wars continued, fighting the same issues..ideology…also religion..the only people who come out ahead r the weapon makers…man to man continues to b so unjust….prayers for our troops wherever they r deployed
A terrific war movie .
One that I have never seen before now
Robert Mitchum was still in the Army during the making of this film.
Mitchum got drafted into the Army and then got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for playing a soldier. He served as a medic at Fort MacArthur, California. Mitchum was married with two sons when he was drafted, so the Army gave him a Dependency Discharge after eight months of service.
Felicitari ,
Film de nota maxima +10
Cu . Respect .
Mai . Dorim ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Robert Mitchum could mince with the best of em 😂
Robert Mitchum was still only 28 when he starred in this damn.
Ver esta película de hace 78 años, nos transporta al pasado. Es muy triste ver como se sacrifican tantas vidas. Gracias por subirla. Excelente película.
En français comment faire
The best WW2 movie and one of the best war movies
I want one of the Dodge 4x4 Troop Trucks with spare parts, Burgess Meredith looks sooo young 😎
This is what inspired Hasbro to use the name for the new action figures G.I. Joe.
My Uncle was with the 18th Infantry at the Battle of the Bulge.
SUPER !!!!! CONTINUATI CU ACEST GEN FILME ❤
That was the last War that we Won.
Born in 40
Too bad the allies never defeated the Nazis. And we pay for it now.
Tell it to your president. 😂
Awesome war movie no matter how many times I watch it...
I am so glad these true and courageous stories were written down and told.
Let us never forget such great sacrifice and duty of devotion was paid for freedom from oppression and tyranny! I thank God Almighty for having such men and women that Served God and Country during WW2.
My Dad also Served in the Army during WW2.
That WW2 must've been terrifying! I'm just glad no one got hurt.
Its filmed in Patton's California Training Camp, south of I-10 east of Palm Springs...Glamis CA is the Sand Dune area that filmed Sahara with Humphery Bogart as well as the TV series Rat Patrol🤓
An early Robert mitcham movie but very good thanks
movie, well presented with near facts... was glued to the movie from start to finish... movies made with no/little graphics, are always better...
It is neat to see some of the old war films colourized. I remember a 50th D-Day anniversary edition of "The Longest Day," on VHS released in colour back around 1995. 50th being dated not from the film production in 1962, but the "D-Day invasion in 1944. It was released in 2 parts, and yet, has never been put on DVD in colour to this day. I say "colour, with the U, because its proper english spelling. The U was dropped by the Americans over the years. BTW this film here is based on a true story.
I have the coloured version on VHS. 😁 I always wondered why they never put it on a DVD in colour.
Red or maroon helmets in the rain scenes & early in the movie one character said everything looked like the world was in technicolor I wondered if it was even around in WW2... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technicolor... It was but I doubt they had the cameras on the battle field✌
@@utetrahemicon .....there are cameras on the battlefields of EUROPE!!!
Poignant and Prophetic. Thanks for posting.
Burgess Meredith was released from fhe Army Airforce to make this picture.
A True Classic! Outstanding!
Seeing them ride on those deuce and halfs, takes me back I used to put my helmet (STEEL POT} over the top of my M1 Garand and wrapped my arms around it and slept, for miles rocking back and forth. I used every weapon they had except the Thompson which I never carried it was no longer used in the infantry when I served. 1958-1964 as far as C rations was concerned my favorite can was the lima beans and ham heated over my Sterno stove in my foxhole. once traded my fruit cocktail to a British soldier for his can of mutton, tasted pretty good.
First time watching this channel
Thanks for adding this!!
Good movie thanks CCC
Ernie Pyle died in 1945 covering the invasion of Okinawa.
It's a shame that they have to colorize these movies. The black and white had a better feeling to the art .
1:31:27 Monte Cassino was not the best decision of Eisenhower. It was beautiful, the first monastery of Europe, and it was senseless destruction. No German soldier was ever inside there, out of respect. They never set foot in the monastery, according to the Abbot.
Un clasico inmortal,muchas gracias,fuerte abrazo.
buenas tardes ya se que es una pelicula de 1945 y ademas en blanco y negro que buen actor era ROBERT MICHUM yo naci en 1966 pero en RUclips he visto muchas prliculas de este actor🦍🐓🦘
United States: 114,000 casualties in Italy ; British Commonwealth: 198,000 casualties; Total Allied casualties: 59,151 killed, 30,849 missing and 230,000 wounded.
In Italy?
@@gamehengeful- Yes in Italy.
I think some of these characters and extras are real G.I 's..❤amazing
Robert Mitchum narrated Tombstone. Enough said.......
Film na tamte czasy oddający ducha tamtych dni ,walki o klasztor były ciężkie ,poległo wielu Anglików ,Gurkhów,Amerykanów,i innych wkoncu udało go się zdobyć Polakom po ciężkich walkach z jednostkami spadochronowymi Luftwaffe.
aviation was hated by infantry for her impartiality;when aviation was on the front,it bombed american and germans without distinction,the infantrymen called her ''the fucked Roosevelt's Luftwaffe'';in the book ''To hell and back''of Audie Murphy is described a violent row between infantrymen and aviators in a pub in Naples
Was one of the bloodest battles of WW2 all the men were heroes period
Too bad that the allies never defeated the Nazis. And we pay for it now.
Learn some history , then come back and comment.. till then 🤫 shhh
@guaporeturns9472 55,000 Allied soldiers lost their lives in the battle of Monte Casino. WTF are you talking about? Is that not bloody enough for you? The allied war cemetery there stretches as far as the eye can see. A truly moving and tearful visit. Personally I just wished they've have bombed the sh*t out of the place for weeks and just bypassed it completely.
There was no more miserable place in WWII than Italy. Absolute misery
How about Bataan?
Excellent execution..felt I was there..all these years and never saw this gem!🇺🇸👍
Erni Pyle could write about the common GI, he. Made the soldiers real people.
