Been successfully shown in an american documentary before. So even though what youre watching isnt real what huston is going for in the movie is, in fact, a kind of realism. It turned out to be a kind of realism that wasinflue influential on many filmmakers off the war in terms of creating understanding of thousand shoot battle footage that looks real. Thanks for that explanation. Here is that film by director huston, the battle of san pietro. In 1943 it was one of our strategic aims to draw as many germans away from the front and contain them on the italian peninsula while liberating as many as italy as possible by the means of our disposal. Operations in italy had to be conducted on an extremely limited scale. Thus, it came about during the winter months, the number of alley dif iings visions in ital greatly reduced yet they succeeded in withholding a very large number of germans. San pietro in the fifth army sector was the key to the leery valley. We knew it and the enemy knew. We h
Pietro,ilitial pietro,ilitially. Praised at the time for the battle that killed over 1,000 americans, the film was composed of almost entirely reenacted scenes. We speak with film historian mark harris. The book is titled five came back, a story of hollywood and the second world war. Joining us from new york is mark harris. As we look at some of the leading directors from this time period, including john huston, what can you tell us about him . Well, huston was a really fascinating, larger than life figure. His career in hollywood was just starting when the war broke out. He had had a kind of never do well adolescence and early 20s. He had been involved in a few car crashes. He fled to paris at one point. His reputation was really not great. And then he came back to hollywood, started to build a reputation as a screen writer, particularly with the help of william wyler, who was something of a mentor and very good friend to him. And then just before pearl harbor, had his breakthrough su
This is part of the war, too. The endless detail of living. The dust is a problem. Dust is good for the laundry business. Hand laundry. Branches everywhere. Community laundry. Threeday service. And for the rugged individualist, water supply, pu pump, heating unit, washing machine. The sergeant gives you salaries. Hes keeping his hand in. The barber shop. And for the next customer, always something to read. Never more than a year old. Bus line, lunch time special. And for the intellectually minded, its time for the most serious things like practicing your yoyo. If theres anything you want, dont ask for it. Build it. Build as though youll be here forever, knowing you may get orders to move tomorrow. 66 found this canyon, made it their living area. Nobody said they couldnt. Nobody says you cant have a house. Build it. Nobody says your squadron cant have a beach club. Build one. Nobody says you cant dam up a river and make a swimming hole. This American Community has everything. When you c
Their plan literally called unified tax reform. The gop leadership spoke moments ago about their unity around it. This is a historic day. This is a day that is a long time in coming. In fact, it was on this day under this dome in 1986 that Congress Took the final vote on the last overhaul of our tax code. Derek hake was there and joins us now. Garrett, the congress wasted no time getting off health care since its not going to work sayi saying they needed that for tax reform. A problem, they needed some of that savings to make tax reform fully work but some some plan now or at least the beginnings of it . Reporter right, ali. An outline. A plan to make a plan. Republicans are by and large so far lining up behind that. Most importantly in the house. The Freedom Caucus caused so many problems for paul ryan, and establish member republicans going back quite a while said he will support the outlines of the plan. The plan moves through the house, moves simultaneously through the senate and a
