Attack! by Robert Aldrich ----1956


Aldrich was an amazing Hollywood director who made a diverse number of films.  I also have Ulzana's Raid on this blog. Did you ever see The Dirty Dozen?  Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?  Aldrich directed those movies as well. Indeed, he unobtrusively directed a number of Hollywood classics. He is totally under-appreciated.

Here's a war movie he directed. I can't say it's an anti-war film, but it's an anti-corruption film, certainly.  The guy in the film who is in charge of what American soldiers are doing got his position only because of political connections and social class. Disaster ensues. It's a pretty good movie.

Here's the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-HT7B0o4-4
