    Editorial Reviews

    Combat! -- the seminal black-and-white-era World War II drama -- falls in for inspection on DVD with this four-disc set containing the series' first 16 episodes, as well as thoughtfully compiled extras. These include "notes, oddities and bloopers" for each episode located on the scene selection menus and an affectionate 23-minute featurette about the making of the series. Robert Altman, then a fledgling director who earned his stripes behind the cameras of Combat!, provides audio commentary for the episode "Cat and Mouse." Altman was just one of the eager recruits mustered for this detail in the early '60s. The duty roster for these inaugural episodes also included director Burt Kennedy (Support Your Local Gunfighter), actors Harry Dean Stanton and Tom Skerritt, and comedian Shecky Green as the hustler Braddock, who enjoys his finest hour in "The Prisoner" -- an episode that finds him captured by Germans who mistake him for a colonel. Combat! succeeded in its mission to convey the sweat, fatigue, tension, and terror of war. The series followed the members of the King Two platoon, led by Lt. Gil Hanley (Rick Jason) and Sgt. Chip Saunders (breakout star Vic Morrow), as they battle their way across Europe following the Normandy invasion. Combat! did not glorify war. Some of the most memorable episodes tackled moral dilemmas. In "Forgotten Front" (written under a pseudonym by Twilight Zone scribe Richard Matheson), platoon member Caje (Pierre Jalbert) must decide whether or not to execute a personable German deserter. Fans of HBO's Band of Brothers will find some similarly stirring material in this wonderful TV classic. Donald Liebenson, Barnes & Noble

    June 24, 2005: When I found out that I could attain this TV series on DVD I looked all over for it. Finally I had to order ahead. For what this series told people at the time it was produces and aired (in the 60s) there isnt a show that comes near this era. I didnt like what the Nazis did during WW2 and this is almost as close to the truth as you can get, emotionally and physically, without the blasphamy or gore. people might say " you dont see any blood or guts" or " they dont use the military slang for different things" etc. But remember this IS a 60s TV show! I like to see the different A list actors playing cameo roles even changing sides in different episodes, doing all this before they were all big stars. to me the only difference between Combat and Band of Brothers is that Band of Brothers was a story of the 101st airborne unit, and true accounts of what happened during war, very fast paced. Combat was written by a brilliant group of people that carefully walked the edge of the line of truth and still having a emotional story with your side being the underdog, with the odds stacked heavily against them (just like the real war) and most of the time coming out victorious!
