The Boys in Company C
Set in 1967, The Boys in Company C follows the lives of five Marine inductees from their training in boot camp through a tour of duty in Vietnam that quickly devolves into a hellish nightmare. Disheartened by futile combat, appalled by the corruption of their South Vietnamese ally, and constantly endangered by the incompetence of their own company commander, the young men discover a possible way out of the war. They are told that if they can defeat a rival soccer team they may spend the rest of their tour playing exhibition games safely behind the lines. But, as might be expected, nothing in Vietnam is as simple as it seems. Andrew Stevens was nominated for a Golden Globe award for his performance as Private Billy Ray Pike. Special Features Include: Audio Commentary by Andrew Stevens, Theatrical Trailer and Photo Gallery of Original Lobby Cards. Widescreen Format (2.35:1)

Review by Koreacollieman from SongTong Korea:
This film touched on all of the issues in Vietnam for the average American before it became popular to do so. You had your sterotypes that made up the "boys". But each brought more to the role then the 2 dimentional roles written for them. You can relate to each. The acting is excellent for a low budget film. The story is plausable. The ending is memorable. "Platoon" and "Full Metal Jacket" gets more attention. But any fan of war films or "buddy" flicks will be remiss in not adding this to their collection.

I ordered this DVD on th 13th of Nov. and received it on the 17th of Nov. This is the wide screen version and it is the cleanest copy of this movie I have ever seen. To anyone who has been looking for this movie, this is the one, well worth your money, order it while you can.
Review by H. Nelson from Tulsa, OK:
This is a great movie but I was disappointed with the video quality. There are a few fuzzy spots and the disc was ratteling arround in then case when I recieved it. Needs more attention to packing and handeling.
