Very Good DVD Release.......2003-02-05
Not only does it contain EL ALAMEIN, but also contains the 1951 MGM picture GO FOR BROKE! starring Van Johnson. It looks and sounds pretty good, but not as good as EL ALAMEIN did. Both films contain a 6-chapter search feature.
Both films are excellent and this is definitely worth buying.
GO FOR IT!.......2002-12-13
The Battle of El Alamein was a real treat. It is in Letterbox format, and unlike Go For Broke is in color... which is absolutely striking. The film is dubbed but is very interesting in that it tells the story of combat in the North African desert - FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE ITALIANS!!!
Marengo did a great job on these films and if you like war movies I highly recommend this double feature.
