Christian Drake achieved fame playing "white hunter", Bob Rayburn, in the series, "Sheena Queen of the Jungle". Drake appeared in numerous films during the 1940s, after he returned from the war. During an interview he was asked if he had a favourite amongst his early films and he replied, "It's definitely 'A Walk in the Sun' (1945), where I played Tim Rankin, the tommy-gunner. There were a lot of big names in that film, including Dana Andrews, Lloyd Bridges, John Ireland, Richard Conte, Norman Lloyd and Huntz Hall. It was a very realistic portrayal of combat." The film was directed by Lewis Mielstone.

One of my earliest exposures to WW2. I saw it on a Sunday afternoon TV movie in the 50's. when the family had had Sunday dinner @ noon, Mom (Captain USA Nurse Corps) was off doing household stuff, my sisters were in their room, Dad (Staff Sargeant,USA, Africa & Italy) half asleep on the couch, me wide eyed watching "A Walk In The Sun". What a wonderful relaxing time!

Along with We Were Soldiers - it shows how terrible war is from the infantry point of view.

This movie along with "The Story of GI Joe" are the two best WW II army movies. To Hell and Back and Go For Broke are close behind. All those movies are during the Italian Campaign and mountain fighting.
