    It isn't Patton for 445, but a good guess anyway. A further clue is decorated.

    Another clue for 446 is the first Indochina war.
  • I think 445 is To He'll and Back.  The Audie Murphy story starring the man himself.

    It is indeed To Hell And Back from 1955. The burning tank scene I remember very clearly from when I first was able to view it.





  • Final clue for 446 is set in 1954,
  • 446 Jump into Hell, but I google cheated
  • 446 Jump into Hell, but I google cheated
    Correct and well done. If you have to do some detective work no problems as I expect this be the only way at times to be able to find the answers. Jump Into Hell from 1955, A rare film covering the subject of the first Indochina War.

    The latest images for you to ponder.
  • 448 The Thin Red Line
  • 448 The Thin Red Line
    Nice one. The Thin Red Line from 1998.


  • A clue for 447 is there a strong connection here with the already answered 448.
  • Another clue for 447 is a well known actor in the 1960s
  • A final clue for 447 is Guadalcanal.
  • Time to reveal the answer for 447 is The Thin Red Line, the original film version from1964. Kier Dullea (David And Lisa,The Fox and 2001: A Space Odyssey) appears in my posted image. Nothing picked up from my there is a strong connection here with the already answered 448.

    Same!
  •  449 450
    The latest images for you to ponder. One very well known film, with the other one not so well known.
  • edited March 2
    A clue for 449 is Vietnam war.
    A clue for 450 is World War 11.
  • 449 should be easy for someone who has seen the film.

    450 is interesting.  Overlord, a Brit film from 1975.  The film was about the D-Day landing.  However, that particular shot is footage from the Anzio beach landing in Italy.

    Correct answer and well researched. According to IMDb the film used 30% of archive British and captured German film footage, including archive footage carried out in 1943 and 1944 of landing exercises. Seeing you mentioned incorrect footage was used a poor mistake was made then.

    I do agree, and this Vietnam war based film was very popular when it was first released.

    Sorry I hadn't vet sighted your answer when I posted by last entry. Your quoted line does indicate that you do know the answer to be Apocalypse Now from 1979, so well done.

  • I'm not good with War films, and I don't think I've ever seen it - but is 451 "Objective Burma 1945? The name came into my head when I saw the image.

    It is indeed Objective, Burma! If one enlarges the image you will be able to see it is Errol Flynn leading the soldiers.

    This film caused major controversy when it was first released in the UK. with some details regarding this as follows.

    Objective, Burma! (1945) a war film directed by Raoul Walsh caused major controversy upon its UK release for Americanizing the Burma campaign, which was primarily fought by British, Indian and commonwealth countries. The film was pulled from British cinemas after one week due to protests. (Turner Classic Movies).
    Americanization of the campaign: The film was seen as a national insult in Britain, portraying the campaign as a solely American effort. A line in the script referring to finding ''a few Brits in the area'' caused audiences to walk out in protest.
    More problematic at the time of its release was the fact that it implied Burma was liberated entirely by Americans (The Guardian).

    The film was re-released in the UK in 1952 with a special prologue to acknowledge the British role in the campaign.
