The story of men at war and that of the esteemed Pulitzer prize winning war correspondent Ernie Pyle. Soon after the U.S. entry into World War II, Pyle joined C Company, 18th Infantry in North Africa. There he got to know the men and often wrote about them in his columns mentioning them by name, something both the soldiers and their families back home appreciated. Pyle moved to other units but as C Company is the first he went into combat with, he considers them "his" company and rejoins them in Italy. Many will die but his reporting brings a human face to war.
Burgess Meredith was a captain in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II and had been discharged to the reserves so he could fill the role of Ernie Pyle in this movie. Robert Mitchum briefly served in the United States Army during World War II, (after the filming of this movie) from April 12 - October 11, 1945, after he was drafted into the army. He was discharged as a Private First Class and received the World War II Victory Medal.
