How many sisters do you think served in Italy? 

From the number of mixed children that are now in their 60s living in Italy the romance was quite possible. 

I really enjoyed the movie.  Some parts were touching.  I liked the cinematography.  This is definitely a must see movie for the entire family.

Also, the 332nd was an Expeditionary Wing from 2002 until last month.

That was the only choices available in theater of combat they were fighting. We used to tease my dad (RIP) about maybe having a brother or sister in Algeria or France...

So true,  their options were the natives and the locals--all White.

My uncle used to talk about the European women chasing  the brothers.  And we joked  we maybe had some "cousins" who may show up one day. :lol:


I am going to see the movie next week after the lines go down, so far critics like it.

No lines if you buy your ticket online and print it.  Just walk right in.

I saw it at the matinee today (Friday). I agree with Y. It was a good movie and the cinematography was excellent. Also, don't forget to check out the companion documentary "Double Victory" (also produced by George Lucas) on the History Channel on Februrary 6th. :nod:

A good story. .  with great action.  But the script left a little bit to be desired. 

I enjoyed it though.

My husband & I went with our church group.  There were 45 of us.   We got out tickets early and saw it last night.  Great movie with a lot of history.

I found this article this morning:

Good movie, but I liked HBO Tuskegee Airmen better. Real names of pilots an more detail.

Saw the movie today.  It was better than I expected.  I saw the HBO version and was going to sit this one out. 

But I wanted to support it so we can get more black movies.


I noticed three actors form the Wire, and Moesha's little brother.
