Format:VHS Tape
Robert Mitchum stars as an American news correspondent, covering the landing at Anzio, in 1944. Waiting for the troops, the Germans are dug in, with heavily fortified defenses. Follow a band of men, stranded behind enemy lines, fighting desperatley to warn the troops landing about the hidden German trap.
This film shows scenes of glorious heroism and hideous carnage, proving Anzio to be one of the most decisive and fierce campaigns of World War 2.
This powerful and electrifying war drama is guaranteed thrills a minute entertainment.
One of my favourite films of my collection.
Not exactly a Saving Private Ryan, but if you like War Classics, this one is for you.

"Anzio" is a very disappointing war film which is long and boring and the acting performances are average, even though I'm a fan of Robert Mitchum. I warn you not to buy this dull film and a decent war film to buy with Robert Mitchum is the classic "The enemy below" or "The story of gi joe" which was surprisingly the only film which Robert Mitchum was nominated for an oscar.

This is probably one of the worst war films ive watched, the acting is poor and the story line too. The description on the back of the box explains a massive battle between the german, American and British troops at the Anzio beachead. But the film doesnt even follow this story, it meanders off with Mitchum going straight to Rome and back with his buddies, his commanders not agreeing with him, some troops go off on a bit a recee, then the next thing we know the film is all about Mitchum and his buddies trying to get back to base to tell them that the germans are here, and that storyline isnt very good. So as for the huge battle of Anzio you dont see any of it because then the film ends when they get back. Thank God i only paid £1.30 for it and that was a waste.

Pretentious twaddle
Little more to say than that. If you are making a war film, make a war film. Don't clutter it up with philosophical discussion which would have disgraced my sixth form. Read more

Good - but no cigar
Anzio is a good war movie but suffers from a somewhat...no, definitely leaden plotting and ham-fisted "acting". Read more

I bought this film since having studied the battle of anzio thought it may be a good and practically the only film on the Italian campaign in WW2. Read more

Anzio - you must be joking!
Don't even think about wasting your money on this pathetic offering. As one who takes war films very seriously, I cannot believe that Robert Mitchum actually agreed to be a part... Read more

A good way to spend two hours.
Anzio is a good attempt to explain the mistakes which made this forgotten battle so bloody. Although by no means a classic it is enjoyable and does contain a few quite memorable... Read more
