This documentary movie is about the battle of San Pietro, a small village in Italy. Over 1,100 US soldiers were killed while trying to take this location, that blocked the way for the Allied forces from the Germans. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2005.

The original title of the film is The Battle of San Pietro.
Apparently made with reenactments, but the footage here still feels realistic and the ethics here of that piece don't bother me. But as a film, there wasn't much here that grabbed me. Fairly bare-bones summary of military action, with a focus on tactics and strategy rather than any sense of the people involved. Perhaps interesting from a historical document perspective but not a great movie.
