Murphy at his best

"I see a lot of people want to compare a remake to the original. Somehow the remake seems to always fall short of the original. I tend to only look at the movie for what is and nothing else. I really enjoyed the. Now I haven't seen every Audie Murphy movie, but I've seen a lot of them. This one is my favorite. I would have like to see more of Lori Nelson. Just a good picture!..."
