Kino Lorber have dated and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Jesse Hibbs' film To Hell and Back (1955), starring Audie Murphy, Marshall Thompson, Charles Drake, Jack Kelly, and Gregg Palmer. The release will be available for purchase on November 30.
Synopsis: Young Audie Murphy's (playing himself) father abandons his large family, and Audie becomes the main breadwinner. When World War II breaks out, Murphy wants to enlist, but looks too young and small to make a good fighter. Nevertheless admitted as an infantryman by the Army, Murphy proves a courageous soldier. The film, based on Murphy's life, reenacts his many battles, including the ultimate feat that earned him a Congressional Medal of Honor: single-handedly turning back a German attack.
