WWII Movie-Double Feature presented by QT

(Quelle: San Francisco Chronicle)"Tonight We Raid Calais was one of the movies I discovered while I was doing research on this. A fantastic movie that I fell in love with. It has a couple of sequences that really seem like modern storytelling. It doesn't have a classical storytelling feel. Waldo Salt, they consider him the father of modern screenwriting. We can see it right in there. It feels like storytelling today."
"One of my favorite war stories, hands-down, is Five Graves to Cairo. Billy Wilder and (co-writer) Charles Brackett wrote their own story for it. It doesn't follow history. They came up with their own way. It's not even a very credible version of Rommel, either, but it's a fantastic version of Rommel."
