Details

Movie Description The longest-running WWII TV drama of all time, COMBAT! aired from 1962 to 1967, and took a gritty look at a platoon of men bravely fighting their way through Europe. King Company is headed by Lt. Gil Hanley (Rick Jason), with help from his second in command, Lt. Chip Saunders (Vic Morrow); the excellent ensemble cast included a large number of guest stars in addition to the series regulars. Known for its realism, the show was valued for its insight into the conditions of war as in real life the conflict in Vietnam raged on. The show honored the soldiers and showed the humor, tragedy, and friendships that characterized their everyday existence. The fifth and final season was the only one to have been shot in color, and this collection is comprised of episodes from the season's first half.
