Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | When Trumpets Fade is a 1998 HBO World War Two film directed by John Irvin (Hamburger Hill), the script of which was discovered by Steven Spielberg (who directed that other 1998 WWII movie and produced those other HBO WWII series). Set during the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest in November 1944, the film underlines its heavy casualties and relative obscurity (compared to the subsequent Battle of the Bulge), but is not based on specific details of the campaign. Instead it follows the Character Development of antihero Sergeant Manning, whose attempts to escape the battle ironically only expose his competence and lead him into escalating exploits. |
