Having been burned by compromises to censors on his earlier films Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Sweet Bird of Youth, Paul Newman decided to star in as uncompromising a property as he could find.

Hud Bannon (Newman) is a young Texas rancher who lives with his cattleman father Homer (Melvyn Douglas) and his hero-worshipping nephew Lon (Brandon DeWilde). Hud is an amoral, cold-hearted creature; his father, who holds Hud responsible for the death of his other son, tries to imbue Lon with a sense of decency and responsibility to others, but Lon is devoted to Hud and isn't inclined to listen.

1945... The confusion and intensity of a single moment in war are captured in this intense and bloody WWII drama about the destruction of a single vital bridge (the Ludendorff Bridge) at Remagen. As American forces move into Germany, the Nazi high command orders the bridge destroyed. A German major (Robert Vaughn), realizing the destruction of the bridge will cut his troops off from their homeland, delays the carrying out of his orders. The Americans, under officer George Segal, are ordered to capture the German troops and, if needed, blow up the bridge themselves. A deadly clash of conscience and arms begins.

This is a spectacular account of the events leading up to and through the Allied Forces' invasion of Normandy, France on D-Day (June 6), 1944 to fight the occupying Germans. The film is particularly interesting because it looks at D-Day through the eyes of all of the participants, including the Germans, who are overwhelmed by the forces brought against them. It is in fact a German officer who gives the story its title -- when he views the approaching Allied armada, he says, "This will be the longest day."

The Mafia Did Not Orchestrate JFK’s Assassination
Post Date: 2023-06-29 14:17:28 by Ada
2 Comments
With this being the 60th anniversary year of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, there will undoubtedly be an increasing number of articles in the mainstream press about the assassination leading up to November 22, the date that Kennedy was murdered. It is a virtual certainty that the articles appearing in the mainstream press will be reciting the official lone-nut theory of the assassination. However, it is possible that some mainstream commentators will point to the Mafia as being the orchestrator of the assassination. But while the Mafia, which was the CIA’s assassination partner against Cuban leader Fidel Castro, may have participated in the assassination through Jack ...

Poster Comment:I knew an old boy that was a cannoneer for Patton. He never missed a fire mission. He got frost bite on his toes during the Battle of the Bulge but could not prove it happened in the service so he couldn't collect. He was in his early 30s during the war. His buddies called him Doc. They told him he was "a runnin' MFer."

Poster Comment:I worked with a guy that was in the invasion of Cambodia. He always carried extra frags. At night they would camp off the trail and set up Claymore mines along the trail. One night an NVA patrol came past. The guy on the switch for the Claymores was asleep. So he just started throwing frags. He was awarded a South Vietnamese medal for killing Communists, but he never picked it up.
