Reteat hell is a great movie for those that enjoy the old black and white war classics. Frank Lovejoy plays a good role as all the actors are in this movie ,and the battle scenes are great. What i can't understand is why this movie is not on DVD it seems that the studios are finally starting come around and starting to release the movies that are worth watching and putting in your collection two other movies that should be on DVD are PT109 with Cliff Robertson from 1963 and Merrill's Muraders with Jeff Chandler from 1962. Sam Fuller's Steel Helmet is in a box set with some other films by Fuller but what gets me is that you figure that you could buy Steel Helmet bye its self but you can only get the movie by buying the whole set.

You figure since streets of San Francisco, the untouchables, swat, Hawaii five-o, and the fugitive are all put on DVD the that San Francisco beat should also see the light of day hopefully. The movie "THE LINEUP" is a great movie seeing old school San Francisco and also included with the old cars seeing those old GM, FORDS, DODGE cars is really cool if their are two productions that should be on DVD are 1. SAN FRANCISCO BEAT TV SERIES 2. THE LINEUP MOVIE 1958 , i was able to get the movie poster at a collectors show last year i had heard that Highway Patrol with Broadrick Crawford might be coming to DVD sometime soon.

Seen the movie for the first time was a real surprise to see the way San Francisco was in the 1950's ,and the story line about drugs coming into the country and a gang of killers trying to catch the drugs as they come through port and killing off people to get their score for the big time money. The movie used the same two actors from "San Francisco Beat" ,and for the movie Don Siegel's use of camera angels really added to the film Noir look for this kind of movie.

The actors that were used for the movie were perfect for this film they add extra touch for the movie in their acting style ,but the bad thing about this movie is that it is not on DVD. You figure a movie like this should be released on DVD for all fans of classic films would be able to enjoy this film treasure it's really a shame that a movie like this is in a vault down in some studio just taking up space when movies like this should be released on DVD for all the public to see and enjoy and talk about instead of being forgotten about by time.

PS. i got my copy from www.moviehunters.TV picture is good and sound is good also might be a little grainy but it's better to see the movie than not to see the movie at all.
