'''''The Battle of San Pietro''''' is a [[1945]] [[documentary film]] directed by [[John Huston]] about the [[Battle of San Pietro Infine]] during [[World War II]]. |
|||
The film is unflinching in its realism (showing people dying on the field) and was held up from being shown to the public by the [[United States Army]]. Huston quickly became unpopular with the Army, not only for the film but also for his response to the accusation that the film was anti-war. Huston responded that if he ever made a ''pro''-war film, he should be shot. |
|||
General [[George Marshall]] came to the film's defense, stating that because of the film's gritty realism, it would make a good [[training film]]; subsequently the film was used for that purpose. Huston was no longer considered a pariah; he was decorated and made an honorary major. |
|||
In 1991, ''The Battle of San Pietro'' was selected for preservation in the [[United States]] [[National Film Registry]] by the [[Library of Congress]] as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". |
