5/5 The movie - To Hell and Back
  by Charles Halter (Bowling Green, Kentucky)
I read alot of History books mainly WW11 and early American history. Just finished the book 'To Hell and Back' and thought well, why not see the movie (same title) again that was in the theaters back in 1955. Checked out Amazon.com and of course they had it and I wanted it. Glad I ordered it because it brought back memories of the good ole days when I went to the movies on a Saturday afternoon. The DVD is a very good up to date quality movie.

I was NOT disappointed when I saw the movie once again. The book and movie don't differ much at all. You can nick pick all ya want about the details but it was a 50s movie. AND of course Audie Murphy is the star in the book and the movie - in case ya didn't know.

5/5 For my hubby

Got this for my hubby. He loves this movie. He has seen it a few times but wanted it so he could watch it whenever he wanted too. I don't like war movies but he tells me it is excellent. It is a true story of Audie Murphy.

5/5 Perhaps The Best War Movie. Ever.
  by Karen Joan (Texas)
TO HELL AND BACK is arguably the one of the best World War II movies ever made. And what makes this classic film so very special is that it is a true story. The events portrayed in TO HELL AND BACK are real, as they actually happened, without any Hollywood embellishment.

After the death of his mother and at the tender age of 16, Audie Murphy, received special permission to enter the Army infantry, after being turned down by the Marines, the Navy, and the paratrooper corp. Young and small for his age, Audie's squad mates felt the need to watch out for him, but soon Audie was taking care of them. His quiet commitment to doing what was right, to doing the best job possible at all times, along with his heroism led to a series of promotions, and finally a battlefield commission. His final mission earned him the Medal of Honor and made him "the most decorated soldier in America." Unfortunately, a leg wound from that final mission also ended his military career, and at the age of 19, after just 27 months of combat action, Audie Murphy was honorable discharged from military service. After the war, Audie Murphy became a B-movie star, making over 30 Hollywood westerns and other films, including TO HELL AND BACK, his own biography.

TO HELL AND BACK is straight forward telling of Audie Murphy's life. Simple and honest, TO HELL AND BACK portrays his affection for his comrades, his innate goodness, and his love of family and country. I do not normally care for war movies, but this is one that I would watch again and again. A story of outstanding heroism and bravery, TO HELL AND BACK is not to be missed.
