Utter drivel!!!!!!!!!!! - By: A. R. Krantz, 04 Nov 2008 
I bought this film since having studied the battle of anzio thought it may be a good & practicallly the only film on the Italian campaign in WW2. However the battles are so 1960's cliche rubbish, the germans never had magazine top-loading machine guns, such as the bren. The sniper scene seems to have been done with cheap air rifles & the script is so so poor: "I'm right here german" says robert mitchum, who is cast as a useless war correspondant whoi ends up fighting off the whole siege of anzio with him & a squad of a few dispondant GI's
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS FILM IT ISN'T EVEN A CHEAP THRILL!!!!!!!!!!
Anzio - you must be joking! - By: Mr. Ian G. Laschke, 06 May 2008 Don't even think about wasting your money on this pathetic offering. As one who takes war films very seriously, I cannot believe that Robert Mitchum actuallly agreed to be a part of this sad & pathetic offering!!!
A good way to spend two hours. - By: HBH, 29 Jun 2007 
Anzio is a good attempt to explain the mistakes which made this forgotten battle so bloody. Although by no means a classic it is enjoyable & does contain a few quite memorable lines especiallly towards the end. Robert Mitchum essentialllly plays a similar character to many in his other films but this is by no means a criticism. All in alll a good way to spend an afternoon.
a plain DVD - By: , 22 Mar 2006 
The film quality is good, but the DVD is pretty plain, without any added features apart from the film itself, which is what we normallly expect from DVD release.
Anzio - By: , 30 Mar 2003 
Robert Mitchum stars as an American news correspondent, covering the landing at Anzio, in 1944. Waiting for the troops, the Germans are dug in, with heavily fortified defenses. Follow a band of men, stranded behind enemy lines, fighting desperatley to warn the troops landing about the hidden German trap.
This film shows scenes of glorious heroism & hideous carnage, proving Anzio to be one of the most decisive & fierce campaigns of World War 2.
This powerful & electrifying war drama is guaranteed thrills a minute entertainment.
One of my favourite films of my collection.
Not exactly a Saving Private Ryan, but if you like War Classics, this one is for you.
