A Walk in the Sun

Movie (1945)

In the 1943 invasion of Italy, one American platoon lands, digs in, then makes its way inland to attempt to take a fortified farmhouse, as tension and casualties mount. Unusually realistic picture of war as long quiet stretches of talk, punctuated by sharp, random bursts of violent action whose relevance to the big picture is often unknown to the soldiers.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (factual errors): The soldiers are wearing a coverall type fatigue uniform which the army had determined to be impractical for field use by 1942. The invasion troops at Salerno did not wear this type of uniform.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): After the platoon has destroyed the armored car, Rivera and two other men are walking along the road in combat formation. Rivera and his ammo bearer, who are talking to each other, are walking at a brisk pace while the man behind them is trudging along with a fatigued gait a bit slower, yet the distance between the men never changes. This was obviously filmed on a soundstage using treadmills.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When a small patrol attacks the farm house they have to return to the wall. Lloyd Bridges is shown throwing his rifle over the wall with a bayonet attached. The next scene shows his bayonet in its scabbard on his back pack.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When taking a 10 minute break, the soldiers state that it is 7:30 but the shadows indicate that the sun is clearly high in the sky, more like noon.
