As vanilla disks go, this is a good one. Whether you rent or buy will depend on if you as a hard core war movie fan as I am. No extras to speak of, but the picture and sound are good.
Picture Quality: 8/10
I noticed a couple of instances of Pixilation. Other than that, the picture is quite good. I don't know what Fox used as source material for the disk, but I didn't see any scratches or spots you usually see on movies from this era.
Sound Quality: 7/10
The sound is mono, but then again, it was in mono to begin with. The dialogue is clear, and the battle sounds come through loud and clear.
Menu: 10/10
Nice use of images from the movie. Nice chapter selection. Easy to navigate.
Extra Features: 2/10
The DVD includes the original theatrical trailer for this and 9 other movies from the War Classics series. I wish someone at Fox had dug a little deeper in the archives for some news reel footage of the film's premiere, or for the historical events the film is based on. Can't have everything.
The Final Word:
If you are like me you'll be glad to have this in your library. The folks at FOX have done a nice job on this series. This is a vanilla disk, and it is probably priced $4.00 to high, but war fans will be glad to pay.

American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the hardest hit areas of Katrina’s destruction, supplying hundreds of
thousands victims left homeless with critical necessities. By making a financial gift to Hurricane 2005 Relief, the Red
Cross can provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need.
