Everything is presented strictly from an American perspective, and Luke’s depiction of the conditions of the battle as well as the despicable German strategy is seriously flawed. Sadly, we see little of it in this inept, half-baked depiction. “Battle of the Bulge: Wunderland” opens with a synopsis of this legendary land battle. Unfortunately, Berenger’s durable presence can salvage this woebegone 85-minute movie since his character spends most of his screen time behind the lines back at headquarters. The latest entry is freshman director Steve Luke’s “Battle of the Bulge: Wunderland” (1/2 STARS OUT OF ****) co-starring Tom Berenger. Smith’s “Everyman’s War” (2009), and Robert Child’s “The Wereth Eleven” (2011), with “The Wereth Eleven” exploring combat from the perspective of African-American troops. Three recent examples are Ryan Little’s “Saints and Soldiers” (2004), Thad T.
Several low-budget movies produced since “Patton” have glimpsed this momentous experience. Scott are the best-known films to examine the battle. Schaffner’s biographical Best Picture “Patton” (1970) with Oscar-winning George C. William Wellman’s classic “Battleground” (1949), Ken Annakin’s star-studded, Cinerama tribute “Battle of the Bulge” (1965), Sidney Pollack’s “Castle Keep” (1969) with Burt Lancaster, and Franklin J. Four influential films have depicted this last-ditch clash between the U.S. The cloud cover over the Ardennes prevented the Army Air Force from bombing Hitler’s hordes. These G.I.s suffered heroically against overwhelming odds until the harsh weather shifted back in their favor, and they were able to defeat the Germans. Dramatically, the German Army launched a wholly surprising attack during one of Europe’s worst winters on record that smashed the thinly defended lines held by American troops either too battle weary or inexperienced to withstand this breakthrough. Hollywood loves to make movies about Adolf Hitler’s last desperate bid to oust American soldiers dug into the snow-swept Ardennes as the last year of World War II approached in 1945.
