Outstanding product.
Sent it to my brother-in-law in the Netherlands who had just visited the Bastogne area. He was unable to buy the movie in Europe

A fun movie to watch, despite the many inaccuracies

Among the best WWII-themed movies of the 1960's are 'Battle Of Britain', 'The Dirty Dozen', and this particular flick 'Battle of the Bulge'. Chock-full of big Hollywood names at the time, such as Henry Fonda, Telly Savalas, Charles Bronson, and Robert Shaw, this film is big on action if you love watching tank duels. Unfortunately the film suffers from historic inaccuracies, among them the lack of harsh winter weather conditions, and color scheme of AFV's (not to mention that the German 'Tigers' aren't really Tigers).

Memorable moments include the storming of the German command bunker by the men participating in 'Operation Greif', the tank crews under Hessler's command doing the 'Panzer Stomp' before going into battle, and the antics of Savales and his crew.

Battle Of The Bulge, Blu Ray - The entire movie is fogged

There had been others commenting on the "fogged picture". I believe the whole movie is fogged, may be due to light leaking on the camera during filming. Go to the "train in tunnel scene" on time line 1:37 and you can see clearly what seem like fogging on both side of the picture, more so on the left side. The amount of fogging that you see depends on the scene at the time. Scenes with high contrase or brightness tend to hide the fogging.

I also have the 2005 dvd version of the Bulge and it has the same fogging problem. I believe the problem is with the original master. So is there a good copy of the Bulge where a good Blu Ray can be produced? If not, can present computer technology clean up the fogging?

I enjoy the movie and the Blu Ray clearity. I am giving a 5 star rating for that. The 3 star is because of the fogging.
