02/01/2014 another WWII war drama post WWII See more 01/07/2014 Starring real life WW2 hero, Audie Murphy. Not a bad war movie. An unbelievable romantic plot twist. See more 03/03/2011 Audie Murphy is a man possessed. He's smuggling supplies to Philippino guerrillas and taking on the Japanese army, all the while looking for his missing wife. An amiable action film that suffers slightly from a lack of chemistry and cash. See more Read all reviews
