General Apathy Posted February 15, 2010 Share #4 Posted February 15, 2010 I really liked this movie. Well acted and thought provoking. I especially enjoy the German POW camp movies and this one did not disappoint IMHO Brent Hi Brent, A little information for you regarding ' Hart's War ', initially I supplied to the production company two original M-41 jackets for Bruce Willis to wear, and I was instructed to post to California for him to try for size. All was well they fitted perfectly and I heard back that the buyer of the costume department was very happy with the jackets. However at the beginning of filming in Prague during winter the M-41 jackets were dropped in favour of the warmer winter combat ( tankers ) jacket, and during the outdoor scenes Mr Willis also wore an officers doeskin overcoat. Attached is a copy of the return invoice with check attached, photos of the two jackets I supplied, and a wristband for a party Mr Willis financed for the cast and crew of the film. All food and drink was paid for courtesy of Mr Willis, he also had his own band there with which he sang and played harmonics very professionally. :thumbsup: During the evening I was with the costume department buyers when he came over to pass some conversation with the buyer, again he was very charming and no signs of big star syndrome being portrayed.

General Apathy Posted February 15, 2010 Share #5 Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Brent, the previous photo was too large for the limited size of posting, so here's a close up of the invoice top as you can see naming Bruce Willis. Cheers Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted November 23, 2012 Share #9 Posted November 23, 2012 Ken, I realise this is an old thread; however the items you posted make for interesting viewing regarding this underappreciated film. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpsmancollector Posted November 23, 2012 Share #10 Posted November 23, 2012 Wow, how amazing Ken! I always love reading your stories. Thanks for taking the time to post. This is a great film and I agree with rusty; under appreciated. Some really great sets and uniforms, just a really enjoyable winter war film!

RustyCanteen Posted November 24, 2012 Share #11 Posted November 24, 2012 When I first saw the film I felt it was a notch above the standard-fare WWII film, it remains a favorite. Without giving away much of plot for those that haven't yet viewed it, it did an excellent job of bringing a great cast together and allowing for an interesting plot at the same time. I don't know how it could be considered "boring", the tenseness of the "courts martial" when Lt Hart makes a startling statement is certainly engaging. The ending is memorable.

V42 Posted December 20, 2012 Share #14 Posted December 20, 2012 It was a good film and part of it was based on a true incendent. You must remember that it is hollywood and they always do things their way. It's entertaining for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHASEUSA11B Posted May 30, 2013 Share #17 Posted May 30, 2013 I've only seen this movie once and I don't remember liking it at all. I'll watch it again to see if it is any better the second time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
