	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Anzio (xhtml)
		In both "Anzio" and "The Green Berets," a war correspondent is brought to the point of picking up a gun and becoming a soldier.
		"Anzio" is unusual in its ability to make the military strategy clear and interesting; instead of anonymous men wandering around chaotically, we get a coherent picture of the campaign's successes and failures.
		To be sure, "Anzio" is not the kind of spectacular its name suggests: It doesn't operate on the enormous scale of "The Longest Day." But there have been too many war spectaculars, and they're usually disasters.

		There is only one big battle sequence, which expertly staged and filled with tanks, extras and big explosions.
		The score ranges from victorious and rousing to mournful and depressing, which contributes a great deal to the mood of some important scenes — such as the entry into liberated Rome and the significance of one character’s death in the sniper sequence.
		“Anzio” is a mixed bag, but despite a lack of focus on one central theme, it manages to be entertaining and satisfying as a drama, with enough well-staged action scenes to hold it together and help obscure the muddled anti-war sentiments.

		Anzio (I thought) was a sideshow, but this book reveals how central it was to both Allied strategy, and British prospects for the remaining months of the war.
