Everyone should learn about Audie L. Murphy. He was not only an exceptional soldier, but was an exceptional human being. There will never be another one like him. Great video!
He died 50 years ago this very day at the ripe old age of 46. He packed more in those 46 years then most people do. He was a natural actor. I love all his westerns, and never get tired of them. He was a true hero. He didn't think he deserved all the medals he got. he said they are for the men I left behind. Thank you Audie Murphy for all you did for this country and for all the movies you left behind.
Yes, he was a good actor, very underrated. His directors certainly missed out on his talent, which was equal to any of the big actors of the time. I remember being so impressed at how he out shined Jimmy Stewart in Night Passage. If you're a big fan of his, I'd highly recommend his memoir - To Hell and Back. I read somewhere that Audie always wanted to write a sequel to that called The Way Back, if I'm remembering correctly. It was supposed to be about adjusting to civilian life and living with PTSD. Sadly, no one was interested in that type of story and his sequel was never published.
@@bigvalleylover2He also out shined James Stewart by playing a role he played first and doing it better. The 1955 film DESTRY which was George Marshall's remake of his own 1939 film DESTRY RIDES AGAIN starring James Stewart. He is good, but after seeing the remake, I think Audie is better in the role. I know of his memoir and am sorry he did not get to do the sequel. It would have been a most interesting book. I recommend to you if you have not read it, the 1989 bio NO NAME ON THE BULLET, by Donald Graham. A wonderful and insightful bio of Audie. I cried when I finished it.
@@susanwynn2820 On his grave in Arlington it states he was born in 1924 which would have made him 46 when he died in May of 1971. The bio about him, NO NAME ON THE BULLET states he may have been born in 1925 having lied about his age so he could enlist. You might be right. I don't know.
Audie Leon Murphy was the most natural actor of them all, especially when he sat on his horse..... A real war hero of WWll and a hero in life, gone far too soon.... Audie has always been my hero.... REST IN ETERNAL PEACE AUDIE LEON MURPHY.... YOU PLAYED YOUR PART IN LIFE AND HEAVENLY FATHER WAS PLEASED, RESTING IN HEAVEN NOW.
I first heard of Audie Murphy in the late 90's while hiking on the Appalachian Trail, near Catawba Va. Someone pointed out to me his monument nearby the plane crash that took his life in May of 1971. I have since learned who he was and what he stood for. I really enjoy watching his westerns. I recently visited his monument again. You can now drive within a mile of the monument. An easy walk.
*Audie Murphy (1925 - 1971) - THE most decorated U.S. solider in WWII...!* He rose from the rank of private to officer with multiple battlefield promotions and was awarded the Medal of Honor before his 20th birthday! His steely inner confidence was forged in the crucible of war! His Texas way of speaking and natural acting ability helped propel him to movie stardom - thanks to the great actor James Cagney who launched his movie career after seeing Audie's picture on the front cover of Life magazine! Audie Murphy was one of the best western actors in the 1950's but he played other roles as well. After the start of the Korean War in 1950, Murphy began a second military career and was commissioned a captain in the 36th Infantry Division. He wanted to join the fighting but the 36th was never sent overseas. He retired as a major. Also not very well known is that after he tragically died in a plane crash at age 46, his wife Pamela devoted the rest of her life to helping veterans in a California VA hospital until her death 2010.
Nice montage and editing. Audie was a true and legendary actor like Duke Wayne. Pity they never made it together on the silver screen. NNOTB is certainly his best film so I'm glad to see how cleverly you used it in your montage. Cheers.

Great video!
I'm sure as a kid Audie never imagined he would become a movie star, but he emerged as one of the very best in the Western genre. A remarkable man.
My favorite actor as a kid, still watch him in rerun movies
God was showing off when he made Audie!
You can say that again!

Not the type of conclusion I usually come to, but I’m convinced Audie Murphy was just a superior example of the human species.
