Yes, that is a great movie. Burgess Meredith caught the essence of Ernie Pyle. And I liked how the movie quoted from him. And Robert Mitchum was great.
Two bits of trivia about this movie that I found:
This movie was released the same year that Ernie Pyle was killed by a sniper at Okinawa.
This was the only movie that Robert Mitchum was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
