Red Rose of Normandy

How did he get ANYBODY to give money for this phony crapfest? Answer that question, and apply the technique to saving the USA from the 15 trillion dollar catastrophe Osama Bin Laden caused us all here in the Country That Supports the Whole World.

Is Claudia Crawford the ULTIMATE WOMAN with her vaginal mouth? Whose idea was it to paint those lips fire-engine red? Does she call herself an actress? She does have great legs, but I don't think German nurses dressed like her and her BFF's in the film. Mini skirts for the Wehrmacht nurse brigades? Were there ANY actors, REAL actors, in this film?

My vote for best acting goes to the P-51 pilot in the cockpit during those fly-over scenes.

Why did I watch THE WHOLE FREAKIN' MOVIE?

The jacket is by far the most interesting part of this movie and it isn't the worst movie of all time it certainly is in contention. At first I thought it might be a foreign film with dubbed in subtitles. Then I thought it was, perhaps, a Russian propaganda movie made to glorify the Russian military. My final conclusion, just before it was ejected from the DVD tray was that it was a high school movie class's final project. But even then it would have to improve. The director,producer and all the actors should be sued for malpractice! The acting is beyond stiff. The photography is dreadful with out of focus scenes and the script was awful. All in all it is a stinker and there's nothing good to be said about it.

I have watched many war films over the years some good, some bad and some in between but as a base to build on this film is, overall, the worst I have ever watched.

The dialogue and acting were poor at best but the worst aspect was the terrible German uniforms which appeared to be made of horse blanket as a one size fits all and even a low budget movie should stretch to shortening the trousers by 3 or 4 inches of some of the smaller soldiers. One of the tank crew was wearing shoes and a young soldier wore a very smart modern checked shirt with his uniform. Even in 1944 senior officers had doeskin tunics.

The uniforms of the US troops appeared to be motley but authentic and, although I know little about small arms, the weapons had an air of realism about them.

If the film is to be believed, obesity seems to have been a problem for both armies and whilst the Germans were scraping the barrel for manpower, hence the large numbers of pensionable aged soldiers on set, the allies did not and the average age on D Day was about 22. Some of the troops looked old enough to have taken part in the actual landings although I suspect there were more than 2 landing craft and a dozen men then.

I've tried to find something positive to say about the film and I suppose some credit must go to the male lead who managed to keep the side of his head away from camera where his ear was inside the hat to keep it on, it being a couple of sizes too big. The female lead was riveting, as in I couldn't take my eyes off her enormous mouth highlighted by crimson lipstick. Her dress length was not common until the 1960's but they did show off her excellent legs.

Somebody thought it a good idea to use a VW Beetle as a war machine but didn't realise that this car wasn't mass produced (and therefore available to the German army) until 1945.

I look forward to the sequel...surely they won't have the gall to do one.

Like a previous reviewer, this is also the first time for me to write a movie review. When I read the other reviews, I had to laugh because they both expressed my same sentiments about this unbelievably bad war movie. In the scene where the landing crafts come ashore, the ocean behind them is completely "empty"! No supply ships - no Navy cruisers or destroyers firing at the German strongholds (bunkers, etc.) during the landing or any of the other approximately 5000 (total) vessels that history tells us were present on D-Day. It's clear to me now: a low budget film and the Normandy invasion don't go together lest it becomes an unintended comedy and a possible insult to the men that died on those beaches 68 years ago!

I am a teenager who loves historical, war and action based movies. I saw the cover and rented it and watched this movie. Worst dollar I have ever spent, I thought I have seen the worse movies before I saw this, I stand corrected, This movie not only has the obvious features of low budget independent film, but the story line seems like it was written by a child. During the first scene when they talk, it was obvious from their "great" acting skills that this movie was going to suck, but i never thought it was as bad as it actually was. I do admit the weapons in the movie are quite spot on, just their firing effects draw your attention from the nice weapons to terrible effects. I found this movie to be more of a comedy then a action movie, because i couldn't stop laughing at this movie, if you are looking for a movie to watch to learn about WWII then this movie shouldn't be your first, second or even last stop. If you are looking to laugh at a film trying to be serious with terrible acting, directing, camera shots, war scenes and more, this movie is worth the dollar you could get it for at the Red Box.
