DVD
Format: Pre-Owned DVD
Hell is for Heroes: Steve McQueen delivers a powerful, gripping performance as a defiant loner whose skills as a soldier make him invaluable to his struggling platoon. In the heat of battle during World War II, McQueen and his fellow soldiers find themselves severely outnumbered as they hold off a Nazi advance along the Siegfried Line in France. Using only their ingenuity and bravery, they must bluff the Germans in order to buy some time and save their lives. Don Siegel directs the explosive action led by an all-star cast, including Bobby Darin, Fess Parker, Harry Guardino, James Coburn, Nick Adams and Bob Newhart. If they can fool the enemy long enough for reinforcements to arrive, victory is theirs.
The Bridges at Toko-Ri: Not every Navy pilot can guide his aircraft from a wave-tossed carrier deck, seek out targets over unfamiliar Korean terrain, and then return to what looks like a speck in the sea. Naval Reservist Harry Brubaker (William Holden) can. This masterful story of a war-weary World War II veteran who must leave his family to fight again combines moving drama with surefire, bombs-away aerial action. Luminous Grace Kelly co-stars as Holden's loving wife, and rounding out a stellar cast are Fredric March, Mickey Rooney, Charles McGraw, Robert Strauss and Earl Holliman.
In Harm's Way: Otto Preminger directs this masterful actioner of Navy men in the Pacific after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. While veteran officer Rockwell "Rock" Torrey (John Wayne) deals with the loss of his command and the return of his estranged son, longtime friend Paul Eddington (Kirk Douglas) faces his own personal and professional demons. They both get a shot at redemption with a mission to capture a strategically located island.
