Talk about a young Burt Reynolds. Well, here’s a very early performance by the young Actor, Burt Reynolds. Well, this is one Movie that didn’t get great Reviews, but if you’ll look at it for what it is. And that’s a Movie telling a strong story about a War that cost the World her good feeling. This is a Soldier’s tale, a War Tale, and a tale about utter deception from WWII SPIES! And a Spy living right amongst your Ranks. And she is so alluring. Yes, our Gilligan’s Island movie star-Ginger! Yes, she’s the beautiful Spy who is a trusted Spy for the German War Machine. And she is living right there in among the American Soldiers. And such trickery to get her in among the American Troops is amazing. But check it out. It’s an Okay WWII WAR MOVIE!

Lawsuit
Major General Daniel H. Hudelson (retired), who commanded the 40th California National Guard in Korea and fought in the Battle of the Bulge, sued Allied Artists and Ronald Alcorn for $350,000 alleging unauthorised use of his story ideas. He claimed in 1955 he sent a tape recording of his experiences in the Vosges Mountains in France to a film company, and said they used his ideas in the film. He claimed the film had earned profits of $1.5 million.[7][8]
