Battle of the Bulge - HDnet Movies (1965)
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2005 9:48 am
The Germans gear up for a surprise final offensive near the end of the war.
Curiously HDnet provided a tag line at the beginning that this movie is not available on DVD and per the IMBD it is coming out May 2005. This has been available as HD for over a year now and yes it took me this long to capture it on DVHS for time shifting, long story... Either way, skip the DVD because there is no way it will touch this HD master!
The movie was originally filmed in Cinerama and you will note larger black bars on the top and bottom due to the 2.55 aspect ratio. The HD master is tack sharp making this movie a delight to the eyes. The soundtrack is not too bad but with cable HD most soundtracks are weak anyway for me. A star studded cast fills the roles with memorable performances from Henry Fonda, Telly Savalas and especially Robert Shaw as the decorated german tank commander leading the offensive, a true warrior who relishes battle.
I thoroughly enjoyed this 3 hour movie from beginning to end having never seen it before in it
