Summary: Combat - Season 3, Operation 2
Comment: This set of Combat! is the last outstanding set. Season four is good but the quality begins to drop off. Combat! had been a successful series for ABC, something they didn't have much of in the sixties. But success for Combat! was something that led to its demise. It began when the actors wanted pay increases, which they got. The costs of special effects was increasing as was everything else. In order to maintain the budget other areas had to take cuts. These cuts came from the writers, the directors & the quality of guest stars, i.e., guest stars that were fairly established in the business with name recognition.
"Birthday Cake" has some comical moments. Littlejohn (Dick Peabody) is the center of the story. He receives a birthday cake & it creates a lot of problems for the squad. "The Cassock" has James Whitmore as the guest star. He's a German officer trapped in a small French town. He ends up masquerading as a priest in order to remain free. As his movements are less restricted he attempts to set off charges he has set in order to slow the Allies advance. "The Town That Went Away" is a comedy relief episode that features Jay Novello. In this episode the French townspeople have changed the direction signs that lead to their town.; it leads to some funny moments. "The Convict" has the squad encountering an escaped French convict. "The Steeple" will remind you of an incident from the film The Longest Day. An American paratrooper is hanging from a church steeple in a German occupied town. "Cry in the Ruins" is an excellent episode. A woman's baby has been trapped beneath debris. Both the American & German squads declare an uneasy truth in order to help the woman. "Heritage" has Charles Bronson as the guest star. He's an explosive expert that the squad must escort to his destination. "The Hell Machine" has Frank Gorshin (Pvt. Gavin) as the guest star. Saunders needs Gavin to operate a German tank they have captured but Gavin is a claustrophobic. "Odyssey" was the next to last episode of Combat! for season three. This episode is all Saunders as he tries to pass himself off as a shell shocked German soldier. A German sergeant takes a liking to him & tries to help him. The ending is a sad one as sides must be chosen by each character.
There are bonus features with the set. They include a photo gallery; audio commentaries for three episodes, "The Steeple" (Pierre Jalbert), "More Than a Soldier" (Shirl Hendryx) & "A Cry in the Ruins" (George Fenady); there's also the notes, oddities & bloopers comments by Jo Davidsmeyer on most episodes. The video & audio content is excellent.

Summary: Best 1960s tv
Comment: Extremely well written, mostly b/w episodes, from early-to-mid 1960s. Superb drama following a platoon of American soldiers making their way through Europe. Vic Morrow became a star from this series --- and the best actors/actresses of the day appeared in episodes, including Robert Duvall and Lee Marvin. The show was seen on Tuesday nights at 7:30EST on ABC, followed by McHales Navy. Character-driven, dramatic and real --- this show should not be missed
