Good flick, he portrays himself in a movie based on a book that he wrote about himself.

Everybody idolizes John Wayne [ me too ] but AM was the real McCoy. JW was just an actor [ and that's all he ever purported to be ]. If AM had of been 6' tall he would have been the man in Hollywood [ if he had wanted to be ].

Any movie with Audie Murphy in it is a good one.

Try "No Name on the Bullet".
A B western with a better-than -usual story line. Actually his best movie IMHO. Its only flaw is the spic-and-span cleanliness of the '50's westerns, nowhere "gritty" enough. If it were remade like a Sergio Leone movie, it'd be top-notch. Why doesn't Hollywood remake movies like these instead? A "Saving Private Ryan"-type remake of "To Hell and Back" would be awesome... |

The marines rejected him because of his small size. Joined the army and blazed his way to glory. Most decorated soldier of World War II. He was the real deal. |
