Bastogne (1949)
Vicende di una compagnia della 101° divisione aerotrasportata americana, accerchiata a Bastogne (Belgio) nell'inverno 1944, durante la controffensiva tedesca delle Ardenne. Wellman sfalda la statua retorica dell'eroe combattente per mostrare la guerra nella sua terribile e umile realtà, attraverso una serie di annotazioni molto realistiche. Oscar per la sceneggiatura (R. Pirosh) e la fotografia (P.C. Vogel).
