The Victors -- 1963 -- Carl Foreman - great anti-war film


So World War II was the 'good' war. This film begs to differ. It was made one year before Lyndon Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin incident as an excuse to escalate the Vietnam War and brutalize a third-world nation. So the anti-war cynicism in this film had little effect in dissuading Americans against fighting again. Well, at least Foreman tried.
