In the winter of 1944, the Allied Armies stand ready to invade Germany at the coming of a New Year. To prevent this occurrence, Hitler orders an all out offensive to re-take French territory and capture the major port city of Antwerp. "The Battle of the Bulge" shows this conflict from the perspective of an American intelligence officer as well as from a German Panzer Commander.
What I am glad to see from some of these classic war films is they don't seem to glamorize the war. I think the Henry Fonda character was in this film, but overall, not as much as expected. An interesting perspective of the war from the point of view of tank warfare. I also like in this film the overture music to begin with and the intermission. It always reminds me of the old, BIG budget Hollywood films that would last about 4 hours.
