All true, thank you, but the Italian poster is wrong, he never wore a helmet like that in the entire film.

Wrong weapon too. He always had a rifle, not a Thompson machine gun.

The artwork looks really stupid.

Wayne did not win an Oscar for this film. Might want to edit your review.

John Wayne did not win an Oscar for this film. The reviewer gets this wrong.

Right. I couldn’t believe it when I read that. How does a reviewer get that so wrong?

I would suggest sending a PM to the reviewer to let them know.

As of about 10 PM EST, the review states ‘Wayne earned his first Oscar nomination for playing Stryker.’ Not sure if that is an update or if it has said that all day.

It’s been changed. It originally said he won the Oscar. No big deal. But it wasn’t correct.

Going to cop the blu-ray rather than the 4K. Looking forward to a 40s war film in my collection. Never owned one from pre-Cold War!
