The 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge has people revisiting this pivotal moment in history, and it seems to be sparking renewed interest in my video on the making of MGM's 1949 war film Battleground. Directed by William Wellman and starring Van Johnson, John Hodiak, Ricardo Montalbán, George Murphy, and James Whitmore—plus a cast of MGM up-and-comers alongside real Bulge veterans from the 101st Airborne—it's truly one of the best war films ever made.
