Tonight on TCM:

I’ve written a brief summary of my thoughts on 1986’s Academy Award Winning Platoon here. Oliver Stone’s most personal film will be shown Friday, May 24 at 7:15 pm PDT.

Immediately following Platoon is Anthony Mann’s low-budget, up close and personal foray into the war genre. This is an artistic triumph of the highest order, 1957’s Men in War, previously reviewed here. One can "see action" Friday, May 24 at 9:30 pm PDT.
