Produced by Milton Sperling and Philip Yordan. Directed by Ken Annakln. Written by Yordon, Sperling and John Melson.

A Warner Bros, pre- sentathi in Superpanavision. The visual panorama of the a of the Bulge" as staged by director Ken Annakin is magnificent. Germany's famed "Tiger Tanks" thunder through the Ardsnnes like invincible armored steeds of 20th century warfare, cutting down a surprised American army, which rallies and wins. The battle maneuver is logic a and methodically explained by the German high command which has called in Col. Hessler, played expertly by Robert Shaw, to over the maneuver.

It's when the scene shifts to the American side--with all the usual "characters" who populate war pictures that the a of the Bulge" is thinned down to a magnificently photographed war picture, replete with human interest, but only coincidentally is what has been called "the hardest fight of the Allied armies in Europe." We in Upstate New York have a special knowledge and i in "Battle of the Bulge" because the authenticated and documented story, produced by Tony Lazzarino with memoirs of officers who actually took part in the battle, has been planned to be filmed at Camp Drum. Warners could not use actual names as Eisenhower, Montgomery, Dradley, Fatten MacAuliffe. On the American team we have a Col. Pritchard, Dana Andrews; Gen.

Grey, Robert Ryan; Maj. Wolenski, Charles Bronson; Lt. Weaver, James MacArthur; Sgt. Guffy, Telly Savalas; Sgt. George Montgomery, and Col.

Kiley, Henry Fonda. Fonda has the surprising role of a "doubting Thomas" who can't believe that the Germans are up to no good and is forever going up in a scouting plane, taking a mar velously clear of the German tank comnjzr from a plane and later getting the same pilot to go up the "soup" to spot where the German Tiger Tanks are. James MacArthur is anoth- "character" who helps Fonda in the fiery climax which takes care of the bad guy--Col. Hessler, still wear- i his spotless and very handsome black Nazi uniform. MacArthur, the epitome of the Vlean American boy, starts off as a green lieutenant who surrenders but escapes when the mow down prisoners.

The memory of a 111 e-hardcned veteran (George Montgomery) puts iron in his spine as he tells his men to "stay loose" and fight. The visual splendor of battle, the relentless march of the tanks and scenes of battle are splendid and buffs of bat- tie films will watch with keen interest. Since this reviewer's acquaintance with the "Battle of the Bulge" is only from writings and conversation it might be a good footnote here to give a statement by Lt. Theodore Draper, who wrote the book, "The 84th Infantry Division in the Battle of Germany." He states: "None of those who were in it will ever forget the Ardennes. If we came ''through, by far the largest credit must go to the men who shouldered rifles and carried machine guns and mortars in the freezing- weather, through knee-deep and waist-high snow, dug foxholes in the ground as hard as steel, stormed hill after hill in the face of.
