World War II hero Audie L. Murphy (1924-1971), the most decorated soldier in American history, portrays himself in this 1955 action classic based on his 1949 autobiography. With Murphy re-creating his own actions and movements in key battles, this devastating chronicle of war follows Murphy and his buddies from North Africa to Berlin, with the war hero performing Herculean deeds on the battlefield. Audie's likability and breathtaking heroics, played out through highly authentic battle scenes, made To Hell and Back the highest grossing film at Universal until "Jaws" twenty years later.

    Uncovering a Hero

    This a movie based on a True Story of the life of Audie Murphy, who became the highest decorated American Soldier of WWII, also receiving medals from France & another region during WWII. Audie Murphy actually played himself during this recounting of his war exploits. He won these medals when he was around 19 years of age & my mind written to all these drug ravaged youths & morally corrupt individuals & ask them - what have you done with your life ? You don't have to fight overseas but get a career behind you in the armed forces to enhance your life.

    Still good to watch

    I saw this movie on TV about 50 years ago. It was great then. In the last decade there have been some great war movies that have probably been better. Still good to catch up on past memories.

  • One of the best books, of that type, I have read.

    Well written. (By the man who was actually there ) !! The baby face of the Author belies his courage and grittiness. If anything, I believe that he plays down the bravery shown in the pages of the book.

    Audie Murphy stars as himself in this entertaining story, it’s hard to believe that he was so heroic because he was and looked very young! He was an amazing soldier!
