56. "To Hell and Back" (1955)

56. "To Hell and Back" (1955)

Tonight we look at 1955's "To Hell and Back," in which Audie Murphy plays himself, doing stuff he actually did in the War. Audie didn't like the movie, but Audie-nces did, making THaB mega-successful, and seemingly influential on WWII movies for decades to come... asides include, hmm, I guess the hand gestures some of us make when we forget our Covid masks.
