Great W.W.II Movies

Where Hollywood Meets Heroes!

The ground rumbles beneath the weight of approaching tanks, the bombers rain destruction from the sky overhead and a muddy foxhole is your vantage point for this powerful war experience! In these three classics, Hollywood takes an unusually unsentimental look at the 20th century's greatest conflict. Gritty, raw and filled with nail biting suspense, these compelling dramas reveal the heartbreaking sacrifices, dramas and heroics that characterized World War II.


A Walk In The Sun - An isolated farmhouse in Italy is being held by the Nazis. A lone American battalion has orders to capture it... at any cost. As they prepare to attack, each of the infantrymen (one portrayed by East Side Kid, Huntz Hall, in a stellar performance) reflects on whether he has what it takes to accomplish the mission - and live. Dana Andrews, Lloyd Bridges, and John Ireland star in this tense drama in the tradition of High Noon. ( 111 min., B&W )


We Dive At Dawn - The exhausted crew of the British submarine, Sea Tiger, must rally for one final, desperate mission: to sink the German battleship, Brandenburg. John Mills leads an exceptional cast of young actors in this suspenseful, ultra-realistic depiction of the terrifying battles that occurred beneath the waves. ( 90 min., B&W )


The North Star - Hollywood made this film at the request of F.D.R. to boost support of America's alliance with Russia. Dana Andrews, Walter Huston, and Anne Baxter play members of a peaceful farming collective in the Ukraine. When the Nazis (featuring a wonderfully evil Erich Von Strohiem as a doctor out to experiment with children!) begin their brutal occupation, the outrage farmers fight back rather than submit. ( 106 min., B&W )
