Description

"The lives lost were precious lives- to their county, to their loved ones, and to the men themselves." In 1945, military officials were astounded by the battle footage captured by John Huston in his pointedly anti-war documentary short The Battle of San Pietro. Decades later, it was revealed that the real battle had occurred before the cameras even arrived. Editor Glenn Garthwaite joins us to untangle the complicated legacy of Houston's WWII film, and the rich history of those fateful filmmaking figures who went to war and came back changed. Today's episode is brought to you by Audible.

Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". Each week, Mike Natale (Yahoo!) and Tom Lorenzo (Men's Journal) bring on a special guest to take a look at one of the films from the registry, to get to the heart of why these films matter.
