The Fighting Sullivans (2005, DVD) Anne Baxter,1944
Description:
This is the movie that inspired "Saving Private Ryan." It's the true
story of five brothers who fought and died together when their ship,
the American cruiser Juneau, was sunk in the South Pacific during World
War II. The Fighting Sullivans is something more than a worthy tribute
to a pair of small town parents and the five sons they lost when the
Juneau blew up in a battle off Guadalcanal on November 13, 1942. It is
a heartwarming slice of Americana that will fill in the background of
any number of Americans on the fighting front. The audience's awareness
of the news in store for the Sullivan family adds considerably to the
film's effect. The Fighting Sullivans generates emotion strictly on
it's own terms and without bidding for tears. This Commemorative
Edition marks the 63rd anniversary of the sinking of the Juneau.
