It doesn't have the flashy effects of a Saving Private Ryan, but it conveys the experiences of men in battle just as effectively - there's one scene, at the railway embankment, in which the razor-thin line between heroism and cowardice is as finely drawn as I've seen in any work of cinema or literature.Unfortunately Battleground was on the same time as Patton - I'm not a big fan of Patton as a movie, but I love watching George C. Scott preen and wheedle and harangue his way through the film!</blockquote>
