Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Murphy was so small (5'5") that Army uniforms had to be specially tailored; he still carried that machine gun solo.
This film helped launch the ' Audie Murphy' legend while he was still struggling with insomnia and nightmares—a sanitized hero for a country not ready for the truth.
