Lost Battalion - DVD

In October of 1918, near the end of World War I as Allied forces attack the German position in the Argonne Forest, France, over 500 soldiers of the 77th Division penetrate the German lines only to become completely cut off and surrounded by the enemy. Enduring harsh conditions and heavy causalities the brave men of the Lost Battalion distinguished themselves by holding their position against all odds. The striking tale is reenacted here by the soldiers who survived the harrowing experience. A thrilling piece of military and cinema history. 66 minutes with a music score by David Knudtson

This film is "A Rhythm-Jammed Jamboree of Love and Laughter", and who is to argue? Featuring great songs (from Rudy Vallee, Joan Merrill and Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra), fabulous dancing (by the legendary Ann Miller), and top-notch comedy (by The Three Stooges), TIME OUT FOR RHYTHM has it all in spades! Two agents, Danny (Vallee) and Mike (Richard Lane), want different stars for their big musical production. But who will win:

A critically acclaimed film PATTON is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses. George Patton, the only Allied General truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanoeuvred Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well as brilliant, and as PATTON shows with insight and poignancy, his own volatile personality was one enemy he could never defeat.
