This is not so much a review as a complaint. I ordered this movie mainly because it won an academy award for Best Song, that being the song...LINDA. That also happens to be the name of one of my daughters, so I ordered it kind of for her. Upon receiving the movie, I immediately ran it , anticipating hearing that song. Alas, the song didn't appear anywhere in the movie. It must have been trimmed for whatever purposes when making the DVD. I am going to watch it again and see if I missed it in the opening intros, but am pretty sure it wasn't there. Since the movie is basically just an OK war story, I wouldn't have ordered it had I known LINDA was missing. What say?

A moving and well made picture telling the story of the Grunt as observed by a magnificent journalist and cartoonist. Fine portrayal by Robert Mitchum.

Wellman's cinematic homage to the real-life Pyle, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, has been called one of the greatest war films of all time, and it certainly earns that distinction. The combat scenes are intense and realistic, but the film also shows the humdrum day-to-day duties and concerns of enlisted men with an almost documentary-like fidelity. Meredith lovingly evokes Pyle's humanistic and devoted attitude toward the ordinary soldiers who were his subjects, and Mitchum - in an early, star-making role - combines grit with gut-wrenching emotion. Pyle advised Wellman on this treatment, but sadly never saw the end result: He was killed in action in 1945.
