My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

A Walk In the Sun (1945)

An entertaining WWII film made in the forties that follows that typical war plot, soldiers on a mission to take a house where the enemy is set up.  A collection of characters carry the story along as the audience watches half of them get killed.  This is one of the first WWII war films made after the war (it seems) and a good one, based on the book by Harry Brown.  I think the cast makes it work as well as some excitingly crafted action sequences from director Lewis Milestone.  Grade: B+
