Original title: Lo sbarco di Anzio
1968 Movie Italy, United States Action, War, Drama, History, Science Fiction 108 min Ages 8+
By: Edward Dmytryk, Duilio Coletti With: Robert Mitchum, Wayde Preston, Earl Holliman, Giancarlo Giannini, Robert Ryan

Allied forces land at Anzio unopposed, but instead of moving inland and north to Rome, their commanding officer decides to dig in. A battle-hardened war correspondent borrows a jeep and driver and drives to Rome and back encountering no significant German forces. The report on the absence of the enemy is discounted as the general is concerned about having the strength to hold Anzio and support the offensive. By the time it is finally decided to make a move the Germans have arrived in strength. A US Ranger assault on Cisterna is ambushed with most of the forces killed or captured. A small group of survivors, including the war correspondent, struggle to make their way back to Anzio and report on the German defenses.
