This was on TV the other night, EXCELLENT WW1 flick about a real life battalion that found itself between a rock and a hard place against the Germans.  The battalion was primarly  made up of street-hardened, New York Bowery-type boys, real tough nuts.

I rank it up there with Saving Private Ryan.

It was on the History Channel a few weeks ago. It's OK, but no SPR by a longshot.

I'd like to see a film on the other "Lost Battalion" from WW2. We have a monument at our county courthouse honoring them. They were part of the Bataan Death March.

Err, I wouldn't rank it up there with saving private ryan.  SPR is a joke.  Each time I watch it, it becomes funnier and funnier it's rediculousness and how bad it is.

But anyway, this movie is really good.

Great movie.  I own a copy also.

Great movie. But who would think Rick Schroder would be a good fit for this movie? He does a nice job though.

Lot of good .45 action in this movie also.

It was actually two batallions who were 'lost' behind enemy lines , for some reason history bundled both of them into one.
