LEWlS MlLESTONE, ACADEMY AWARD ® BEST DlRECTOR WlNNER FOR ALL QUlET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1930) DlRECTS THIS COMPELLING DRAMA OF AMERlCAN SOLDlERS lN COMBAT DURING THE ALLlED INVASlON OF lTALY lN SEPTEMBER 1943.
Dana Andrews, Richard Conte, John lreIand, LIoyd Bridges, and Norman Lloyd head a steIIar ensembIe cast comprising the lead platoon of Texas Division of the U.S. Fifth Army. This eclectic group of citizen-soIdiers are thrust into a life-or-death mission to blow up an enemy bridge while attempting to capture a strategic farmhouse heaviIy garrisoned by German troops. The diIemma of the common soldier trudging to an unknown fate under a bIazing ltaIian sun is captured by the different thoughts and personaIities of a disparate group of men under arduous stress. Who wiIl rise to the occasion or crumbIe under pressure? Robert Rossen's literate script dramatizes the narrative from the perspective of the infantryman whose mundane routine of service-related ennui is interspersed with heart-puIsing action amid the ever-present specter of sudden death. Once seen, it is never to be forgotten. The superb camera work by six-time Academy Award ® nominee RusseIl Harlan is supported by the titular ballad written by MiIlard Lampell and EarI Robinson and performed by renowned African-American operatic singer Kenneth Spencer. A Walk in the Sun was named as one of the year's top films by the National Board of Review, was nominated for Best Film by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and was added to the NationaI Film Registry in 2016 for its cuIturaI, historical and aesthetic significance. Once seen, it is never to be forgotten.
