Red Badge of Courage Trailer

Plot centers around how a young recruit (Audie Murphy) faces the horrors of war. Character vascilates between wanting to fight and doubting his own courage. In midst of first bloody encounter, Youth runs away. After seeing dead and wounded, sense of shame leads him back to his unit, where he distinguishes himself in the next battle. Having overcome his fear of "the great Death" he knows e can face whatever comes. Somewhat sentimental "coming of age" tale was pet project of John Huston, who fought MGM over casting of Murphy and Bill Mauldin in lead roles.

Love the book, I need to watch the movie!

[iracordem]

ok, john wayne WAS around before murphy... but murphy truly lived the heroism and was still the largest of the western screen stars.

[iracordem]

what a great scene when the ohioans meet the tennessee rebs.

this film has a wonderful effect of feeling like you are constantly on the move, which is how these soldiers truly lived.

also, everyone loves john wayne and eastwood and the turner films but have forgotten the true greatness of audie murphy. he was the daddy of wayne and eastwood and all the rest who came after.

Isn't the youth Henry Flemming..........

@RawheadRex72 The Civil War was caused by many factors, not just slavery. Yes, slavery was one of the issues, but if you imply it was the only reason you place yourself in the same category with the incompetents and liars. Read the words the soldiers left behind. The majority were offended by the idea that they were fighting either for or against slavery.

[RawheadRex72]

Slavery was abolished in the British Empire long before it was ended in the US. If any history teacher tries to you that the Civil War wasn't caused by human trafficing, they are either incompent or else liars.
