0:28:03 > 0:28:06'Best outfit in the whole army.'
0:28:08 > 0:28:11On a dull day, you can always get a fight in the army by arguing
0:28:11 > 0:28:14which is the best outfit.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17In a year, I'd been to a lot of places
0:28:17 > 0:28:19and learned to love a lot of men.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22But I always reserved one special place in my heart
0:28:22 > 0:28:25for the boys that I'd started with.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Everybody else had a company and I felt I had one, too.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Company C, 18th Infantry.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I hadn't seen them in a long time
0:28:34 > 0:28:36and now I set out to find them again.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39They'd been through a lot by now.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43The conquest of Sicily, the murderous landings at Salerno.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Now they were part of the force
0:28:45 > 0:28:47hammering down the long, hard road to Rome.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Hey, Dondaro. What town do we take today?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- San Raviolio. - Didn't we take that yesterday?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Nah, that was San Something-else-io.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08And I was wondering about Wingless Murphy,
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Sergeant Warnicki, Lieutenant Bill Walker
0:29:11 > 0:29:14and a funny little mutt named Aaron.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16All right, men. Fall out.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Anything for Captain Walker? - Come on, Sarge!
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Sergeant! Anything there for Captain Walker?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Sorry, Captain. Nothing for you. Blair!

0:30:43 > 0:30:46- You forgot to put in a beneficiary's name.- What's that?
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Anybody whose name you get down there gets the 10,000 simolians.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- You mean anybody's name who I put down?- Yeah.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59or there'll be no dough. Stick your old lady's name down, you're OK.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01I ain't got no old lady.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Well, your old man, then.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Ain't you got no relatives?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Well, stick anybody's name down.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17I said you don't want to let all that dough go to waste.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Hey, Sarge. What do you know?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Yesterday, I ain't worth a flat nickel.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Today, I can throw 10,000 bucks away just like that.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- What have you got in the package? Something to eat?- I don't know.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Open it! How are you going to find out if you don't open it?
0:31:38 > 0:31:39An idea.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's from the old lady!
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Look what she's done.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04She had the kid's voice put on a record.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Junior's voice. He couldn't even say "Mamma!" when I left home.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Gee whiz! Let's listen to it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Ah, who's got a phonograph around here?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- Maybe they got one in the next town? - Yeah!
0:32:16 > 0:32:20What are we waiting for? Let's get going.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Why don't you look where you're going?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Get out of that jeep and I'll beat your brains out.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Who are you mad at?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- How are you, Warnicki? - Why, it's Ernie! Hey, fellas!
0:32:32 > 0:32:33It's the little guy!

0:32:43 > 0:32:47We've been saving sugar for you, Ernie.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48At last.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Now I can write to the old man and they can relax.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Well, here we go again, Ernie.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55You know every time you show up, there's a big battle?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Last time it was Tunisia. You better check your dog-tags, fellas.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Got to have something to write about.- Know something else?
0:33:05 > 0:33:10- What?- My old man says I look like you.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Good to see you, boys.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14All right, men! We're moving off!
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Ernie, how about borrowing your finger-nail clippers?
0:33:18 > 0:33:19- How are you, Bill?- Hello, Ernie.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Oh, these?- Congratulations.- Thanks.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27It's because I survived longer than the other Louis, I guess.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- All right, Sergeant. Let's get out of here.- All right, men. Follow me.

0:59:08 > 0:59:09Good morning, dear!
0:59:09 > 0:59:11BIRDSONG
0:59:27 > 0:59:29I don't like it. It's too quiet.
0:59:29 > 0:59:33- Maybe they've pulled back all the way to Rome.- Uh-ah.
0:59:33 > 0:59:36At this rate, we'll be in Rome in three days.
0:59:42 > 0:59:44BELL TOLLS
1:00:00 > 1:00:03All right, men. Fall out.
1:00:12 > 1:00:16Look at that old monastery up there. So peaceful.
1:00:18 > 1:00:21You'd never think there was a war within 1,000 miles of it.
1:00:21 > 1:00:23Or 1,000 years.
1:00:24 > 1:00:29Maybe you're right about the Krauts pulling all the way back to Rome.
1:00:29 > 1:00:33I don't get it, though. If they wanted to slug it out here, they could make it plenty tough.
1:00:33 > 1:00:36RUMBLING, EXPLOSION
1:00:36 > 1:00:38WHISTLING
1:01:00 > 1:01:02Get me artillery fire control.
1:01:02 > 1:01:06Hello, Keith. It's Walker.
1:01:06 > 1:01:09- You know that building up on top of the mountain?- The monastery?
1:01:09 > 1:01:14You can call it that if you want to but I call it in military terms an observation post.
1:01:14 > 1:01:17If you don't want to get us killed, give it the business.
1:01:17 > 1:01:20I can't. Got an order about it. Religious shrine.
1:01:24 > 1:01:26Does that sound like religion to you?
1:01:37 > 1:01:40Medic!
1:02:03 > 1:02:05All right, men. Let's go.
1:02:40 > 1:02:42We lost three.
1:03:09 > 1:03:14- I suppose this could be deeper. - Yeah. It kind of looks like we're going to need a permanent hole here.
1:03:15 > 1:03:18THUD! Oh!
1:03:29 > 1:03:34- Patrol, patrol, patrol. - One more patrol and I'll go nuts!
1:03:34 > 1:03:39Personally, I'd feel a lot healthier if that monastery wasn't looking down my throat.
1:03:43 > 1:03:45BELL TOLLS
1:04:45 > 1:04:50Just got back, Captain. Through a lot of small arms fire on hill 457.
1:04:50 > 1:04:53Mortar fire, 793.
1:04:53 > 1:04:56Terrific artillery,
1:04:56 > 1:04:58but couldn't locate it.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01They got Lieutenants Josephs,
1:05:01 > 1:05:04Spencer, Trenton.
1:05:04 > 1:05:07Michaelson got it in the arm,
1:05:07 > 1:05:10but I got him back OK.
1:05:13 > 1:05:17OK, Sergeant. You'd better go get some chow.
1:05:24 > 1:05:25You take over Josephs' platoon.
1:05:28 > 1:05:30Noel...
1:05:30 > 1:05:35If, er, if Lieutenant Joseph had any personal belongings,
1:05:35 > 1:05:36send them over, will you?
1:06:05 > 1:06:07Oh, my aching back.
1:06:08 > 1:06:11WATER DRIPS
1:06:14 > 1:06:16Somebody ought to phone a plumber.
1:06:47 > 1:06:51You know, it...sounds pretty silly when you say it, but...
1:06:53 > 1:06:57..sometimes resting like this, I get a kick out of just breathing.

1:07:25 > 1:07:28Why in the devil don't they bomb it?
1:07:28 > 1:07:30I'm a Catholic and I say bomb it...

1:07:33 > 1:07:35Check, brother.
1:07:35 > 1:07:40I've got a wife and a kid. Think I want to die for a piece of stone?
1:07:53 > 1:07:56Why wasn't I born a 4-F instead of good looking?
1:08:21 > 1:08:24BOMB BLASTS
1:08:27 > 1:08:30Lieutenant Hawkins reporting, Sir. Replacements.

1:09:10 > 1:09:13Sergeant, line the men up.
1:09:13 > 1:09:15All right, men, fall in!
1:09:22 > 1:09:24You first four, first platoon.
1:09:24 > 1:09:29Sergeant Warner here will show you to your hotel suites.
1:09:29 > 1:09:33The next six, second platoon. The Corporal will take care of you.
1:09:36 > 1:09:38The rest of you, go with Lieutenant Hawkins.
1:09:38 > 1:09:42You take over Lieutenant Henry's platoon.
1:09:42 > 1:09:45Bypass that mansion and down the hill, but turn to your left.
1:09:45 > 1:09:47All right, that's all.
1:10:20 > 1:10:23Any of you dog faces know anything about a phonograph?
1:10:28 > 1:10:30The cream of the crop, I always get.

1:10:39 > 1:10:41Gee, a guy could get killed around here!
1:10:44 > 1:10:47All right, let's synchronise our watches.
1:10:50 > 1:10:55You stick with Sergeant Warner here, Lieutenant. He knows the terrain.
1:10:55 > 1:10:57OK, move them out.
1:10:57 > 1:10:58All right, let's go.
1:11:19 > 1:11:21So long, Arab.

1:14:40 > 1:14:44- What's in it?- Nothing much, you just won the Pulitzer Prize, that's all.
1:14:51 > 1:14:52Well, I'll be darned.
1:14:52 > 1:14:57I regret to inform you, Mr Pyle, you are no longer a newspaper man.
