A Walk In The Sun
From the director of All Quiet on the Western Front, comes this stirring drama considered by many to be one of the
best films about World War II ever made. A Walk in the Sun follows an infantry platoon on one morning from the
time they hit the beach at Salenrno, to the time thery reach and capture their objective, a farmhouse six miles
inland. Dana Andrews stars as the sergeant who reluctantly becomes the platoon leader after their lieutenant is
killed before they even reach the shore. As the men struggle along, they incure heavy losses from repeated
ambushes and surprise attacks. Throughout the film, the men think about their place in the great scheme of the
war, about their fear of being killed, and about the hard, dirty tedious, and dangerous job of being a front line foot
soldier. A sense of resignation hangs over them. They are there to do a job, and although they don't even
understand what part they play in the big picture, they go an do it anyway, even at the cost of their lives.

Ford, painstakingly recreates the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and even manages to build up suspense by
staging several scenes of the unsuspecting military personnel at work, play and worship. So convincing were
many of the attack scenes that they have since been excerpted in several documentaries. Winner of the Best
Documentary Short Subject Academy Award in 1944, the film also provides a look into life in the Japanese
community there - a rare glimpse into history. Also included is the wartime short, "Recongnition of the Japanese
Zero" starring Ronald Reagan. Designed as a public service film to help American civilians recongnize a
Japanese bomber plane in teh event of an air raid, it provides insight into daily life in that period.
