Review by: Mandy Apgar
In an attempt to help justify WWII to the public, 5
Hollywood directors - Capra, Ford, Huston, W. Wyler, and J. Stevens -
all journeyed to the battle front to photograph and document major
events and battles all the way up to the war's end. An
account of their lives during this time, period attitudes of film
making, as well as an account of the war itself told from their
perspective. Being present for Midway, aerial combat, the liberation of
Dachau, and other events, all 5 came back home with a slightly
to severely different sense of purpose that permanently affected their
careers.
