One of my favorite WW2 movies. I finally was able to find it on DVD without paying a fortune, so I now own it.Currently watching The Story of G.I. Joe (1945) on TCM. It's a largely fictionalized account of American war correspondent Ernie Pyle's travels with an equally fictionalized group of U.S. infantrymen in Europe during World War II. Burgess Meredith stars as Pyle, accompanied by Robert Mitchum as "Lt. Walker". Perhaps a little better than most "follow these guys through World War II" movies, for me this one survives because of the performances--not particularly special, but entertaining.
Sadly, Pyle was killed in action two months before the movie premiered and never got to see even a rough print.
