The classic book brought to the big screen with Audie Murphy as "the boy" is excellent. When you are embarrassed that you haven't read the classic you can always resort to this movie version to become enlightened by the strong character interaction on a true modern day combat issue. Even those who are "black-and-white" challenged, like my kids, once they discover the characters in the movie they watch the movie to the end.

Steven Crane is known as one of the first American "realists":
reading the novel was a real experience that I remember.
The movie didn't live up to that although it was well costumed and most of the acting was good. Audie Murphy was miscast as the hero, I think
as he just doesn't have the introspective tortured look that is necessary
to pull the role off. James Dean or Montgomery Clift would have fit the role much better?!
I liked it, anyway, for the civil war historical staging.

The DVD did not work. I reported this and the company, inetvideo, said they would replace it but has not.

This looks like a low budget version of a great American story. It would make a good candidate for a re-make (although I doubt if will ever happen).

Movie was good. It covered most of the things in the book. I will use this as a teacher for follow up to reading the novel. Fast delivery too.
