Plot: The highly variable Audie Murphy delivers his best screen performance as himself in Universal's To Hell and Back. Based on the star's autobiography, this is the story of how Murphy became America's most-decorated soldier during WW II. After dwelling a bit on Murphy's hard-scrabble Texas upbringing, the story moves ahead to 1942, when, at 18, Audie joined the army. Within a year, he was a member of the 7th Army, serving in North Africa, Italy, France and ultimately Germany and Austria. One by one, the members of Murphy's Company B are killed in the war, until only three men from the original company are left (the others appear at the finale as ghostly images, a standard visual cliché of 1950s war films). The bulk of the film is given over to Murphy's conspicuous acts of combat bravery, and his killing of 240 enemy soldiers. Highlighted by excellent battle sequences, To Hell and Back is a serviceable tribute to a most complex individual. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In 1986 i reported for duty in the US Army to Schweinfurt West Germany, 3rd Infantry Division. Prior to reporting to my unit we all had to watch this movie of the 3rd Infantry Divisions most decorated soldier. I have watched it many times since, but never with that same enthusiasm. Great classic movie of a true story.

The movie - To Hell and Back
Added 9/24/2009

I read alot of History books mainly WW11 and early American history. Just finished the book 'To Hell and Back' and thought well, why not see the movie (same title) again that was in the theaters back in 1955. Checked out Amazon.com and of course they had it and I wanted it. Glad I ordered it because it brought back memories of the good ole days when I went to the movies on a Saturday afternoon. The DVD is a very good up to date quality movie.

I was NOT disappointed when I saw the movie once again. The book and movie don't differ much at all. You can nick pick all ya want about the details but it was a 50s movie. AND of course Audie Murphy is the star in the book and the movie - in case ya didn't know.

Got this for my hubby. He loves this movie. He has seen it a few times but wanted it so he could watch it whenever he wanted too. I don't like war movies but he tells me it is excellent. It is a true story of Audie Murphy.
