When Trumpets Fade DVD (1998) | Ron Eldard, Frank Whaley & Martin Donovan | Battle of Hürtgen Forest | Dir. John Irvin | HBO WWII Drama | Arrow Films | 15 Cert | New & Sealed

November 1944. The Hürtgen Forest. America's bloodiest forgotten battle. Ron Eldard stars in When Trumpets Fade (1998) on DVD, from Arrow Films. Directed by John Irvin, the HBO film is set during the Battle of Hürtgen Forest — one of the longest and most costly engagements in American military history, fought in the dense forests of western Germany in the winter of 1944. Private David Manning (Eldard) is a self-preserving soldier who survives by instinct and luck where braver men die, only to find himself involuntarily promoted and thrust back into the carnage. A raw, unsparing anti-war film that refuses to glorify its protagonist — one of the most honest and underrated WWII films ever made. Also starring Frank Whaley, Zak Orth, Dylan Bruno and Martin Donovan. 93 minutes. 15 cert.
