Ski Troop Attack (1960)

A small troop of U.S. soldiers on skis (was that a thing?) in WWII Germany come across Axis activity & sort of stalk them & devise a plan to blow a bridge to stop the advance. They end up battling a small group of Germans on skis who are trying to stop the Americans from stopping the Germans.

Corman’s first attempt at a war movie I believe. Not bad, actually a lot of elements and scenes that are reminiscent of Saving Pvt. Ryan. Not saying that they were originally Corman’s ideas, but definitely similar.

Good character sketches and some development. Reasonably good acting and action.
