The Battle of San Pietro (1945) DVD
The plot
John Huston’s wartime documentary examines the struggle for San Pietro during the Allied campaign in Italy. The battle is presented through the movement of troops, the landscape they must cross and the damage left behind, bringing the human cost of taking a small town into focus. The Battle of San Pietro offers a compact account of military objectives and their consequences for soldiers and civilians. For viewers interested in World War II documentary filmmaking, its importance lies in the way it moves beyond a map of the campaign to consider the people whose lives and surroundings bear the effects of combat.
