I was a youngster and I think this was the first PG movie I watched. I rode my bike to the downtown Fox theater. IIRC at that time the Saturday matinee was either 25 cents or 35 cents for a single feature. I usually hid to stay and watch the next movie. Times and money were tough at that time in my family.
The Blue Max, for the flying scenes. Yeah, I know, not WW2 but it had a lot of planes and flying.
Later, The Big Red One. I was at my OBC at Ft McClellen and saw Patton in the base theater.
