The Guts and Glory Story of the Undefeatables!

Overview

This is only the second Audie Murphy movie set in WWII after his autobiographical "To Hell and Back."

His sole motive is not politics nor bravery, but to find his bride from whom he was separated during the Japanese invasion two years before
