I was hooked on Combat as a kid but didn’t see every episode. Thanks to this channel and TH-cam I get a second chance. Combat is an underrated classic.
I also was hooked to it but I didn't see all the episodes due to the hour that it was aired (school nights) but I was permitted to watch it during summer vacation.
That was a great episode. I like Robert Duvall as an actor and he played his role perfectly. The enemy was a conniving bastard but you have to respect his clever ingenuity and tenacity.
Robert Duval es un gran actor y cada papel que interpreta es impecable, hasta el acento que saca en inglés parece real y que fuera alemán realmente, actores como el pocos
@@jduff59 That's true. Though, 5 years later he was chosen for the role of Tom Hagen in "Godfather" and in 1983, he won a best actor academy award for "Tender mercies". Careers are being built up step by step.
Rick Jason and Robert Duvall do a great actor performance ! I'm glad to watch combat now, because 1965 my parents had to television. Thank you very much for uploading !
I have worked with scales like that for 30 years. The weighing platform can only be depressed if the balance beam pivots upward, but that was not possible in this instance because the balance beam was pinned, as is always done prior to placing a load on the platform. Even if the beam had not been pinned, simply removing the counterweights and setting the slide weight to the "zero" position would have allowed him to leave something as light as his helmet or a shoe on the platform to keep it from rising again as he stepped off. Of course, the audience wasn't supposed to be able to notice such things. Overall, I'm surprised how good a show "Combat" really was. I remember watching it as a young kid, but I never actually understood any of the story lines when I was that young. I feared I might be disappointed when seeing it as an adult, but this is about my fifth episode and I've been pleased with them all.
I was 13 at the time in 65. Back them action was the reason I watched. Now an adult, I realize every show has an actual plot. Thanks to the technology to be able to watch this and other great shows of this era.
When I was a lad of ten I loved watching this show. One time I talked my dad, a Canadian veteran of WWII into watching it also. To put it mildly, he wasn't impressed.
Robert Duvall played an excellent German in this show watching these programs again makes me feel like a kid all over I used to watch this show all the time
I hate to disagree with you! I don't like his "accent" and I think he is a better cowboy than German officer! Don't get me wrong, Duvall is convincing and a great actor. Maybe because he is so young in this episode of Combat!
"Hills are for Heroes", directed by Vic Morrow, is the closest thing to a full fledged movie they ever did on the show. Rick Jayson and Jack Hogan did a great job acting. It was an intense 2 part episode. Morrow took about a full month to film it driving the producers crazy being they were usually done within a week. It was expensive to shoot. But it became the favorite of all, and really displayed Morrow well as a director.
@@roberttuckey5676 Yes! Toy Thompsons, 30cal. M1s', BARs, 50.cal 50s and 30.cals too, Greese 45s, and some original german weapons too that the t.v. series couldn't garner ; collectors items by the "freight, train- house- full. My grand father snagged and swastika arm- band in France, and a p38 German Luger( excellent pistol). German left-overs were in wide demand ; like their toys and weapons , or both.
@@hugbug4408 I had a 30 cal on a tripod and a 50 cal that shot bullets. I went to the army navy store and bought dummy grenades too. Had a wooden training rifle. Joined the Young Marines instead of the boy scouts. Had a ball.
Well as long as one doesn't ask what the heck LT. Hanley was doing there all alone, it was a great episode. Tension, acting, writing, all well done. Thanks for uploading this series!
I’m assuming that he was on his way back to the Platoon command post and just passing through the town. And there, the Germans were laying traps for when the Allies passed through.
Also, why didn't Duvall's character or even Hanley go around back of the railway station and retrieve the M-14 that Hanley knocked out the window? great episode anyway.
I watch this as a child. I applaud the set builders of the town and the French speakers. This was done on an American set but it does look like French provincial towns.
One thing i really enjoyed about this show is they still spoke german and french instead of all english. Duvall played an alien in some show he spoke in the same cadence he does here.
Robert Duvall is a great actor. His role as the Marine Corps Pilot with his family in early 60's America was a truly great one. He should have got the Academy Award as "The Great Santini". Combat had some fantastic guest stars. Thanks again for posting these classics!
Top notch a Rick Jason episode. Vic Morrow gets most of the accolades, but as Lieutenant Hanley plus Robert Duvals acting is top tier stuff. Robert at 69.
I WATCHED COMBAT AS A TEEN 1968 ILLINOIS MOVED TO CALIFORNIA 1969 GOT DRAFTED OUT OF CITY COLLEGE SAN FRANCISCO THE REST IS HISTORY LOVED THE SHOW RIP VIC MORROW WHO DIED ON LOCATION A HELOCOPTER BLADES BEHEADED HIM A FEW YEARS AGO I HEAD WAS SO SAD
This is one of the few episodes that I remember from when I was a kid. I would have been seven years old when this was on. I don't know why it stuck in my memory but I was wondering when I would see this. Of course, in 1965 I would have had no idea who Robert Duvall was but I remembered the conversation with the nun in the train station.
IMO this may be the best episode. Don't know how much of this was true, but very enlightening to the tactics used in times of war.. Has Robert Duvall ever played a bad part?
Herr Robert Duvall was Gute within his Duetch words, just not Excellent Enough! Luckily, this was a Show of Das 1960's . Superb Actor of his acting career!! May He Rest in Peace with all Past Actors & Actresses!
Not sure if the Germans would have gone to so much trouble to boobytrap one French village. They did have a plan to destroy Paris in 1944 but the German in command, Dietrich von Choltitz, decided not to carry out Hitler's orders. The 1966 movie "Is Paris Burning?" tells the story. Duvall had already gained fame as Boo Radley in "To Kill A Mockingbird" in 1962. He would later portray a German officer using almost the same accent in "The Eagle Has Landed".
The first centerfire rifle I ever shot was an M-1 Carbine a friend brought back from the War. I was probably 10 or 12? Pretty sure I was channeling Lt. Hanley when I squeezed the trigger.
This was the Combat! series forte...great writing, acting and production value with top notch guest stars. It excelled as a weekly drama over The Gallant Men in these aspects. However, the series made the summer 44 campaign in France, a campaign of sweeping mechanized movement, massive troop concentrations, and awful airpower, drag on in asymmetric warfare style, kind of like a European Vietnam. The Gallant Men, on the other hand, made more sense as to what actually happened in Italy and had action sequences that just kicked ass by any standards. (See episode "And Cain Cried Out".) This series also made skillful use of real footage.
I noticed in the opening scene when the German soldiers were firing @ the Jeep, one of them was firing semi-automatic as heard by the sound effects. Of course, I know about the StG44 "assault rifle" but he didn't have one & I believe the FG42 rifle was dedicated only for airborne troops.
im rewatching Combat! until now i havent gone along with pointing out bloopers but i guess its not being disrespectful its just pointing out bloopers. like the cars on the highway in a scene and Hanley calling littlejohn "peabody". did you see one in this episode? at the end Duval removes the last mine with a knife, leaves it on the ground to toss the mine then Hanley picks up the knife off the wall. i was 11 when this aired, i guess i was 8 or 9 when the show started. i couldnt watch with my father like some. i did play "army" with the kids all over the neighborhood. i got a hold of a plastic tommy gun with the comp broken off and i even made a map of the neighborhood and pulled it out like the sarge is always doing. great times.
Davidautofull Also when Hanley first steps off the scale, he steps on a coil of the nun's sash cord he used to pull the cart toward himself. After the cut scene he begins to walk away and the sash cord is no longer on the floor.
I can remember as a kid, just about everyone in the neighborhood was outside playing army. Today kids are looking at their cell phones inside. My how times have changed.
Two things I noticed. One, he didn't retrieve his rifle he knocked out the window, and two, he didn't move the nun away from the bomb on the bridge while Duvall was dismantling it, but, such is the script.
The Germans did a lot of booby traps as they retreated in both WW1 and WW2. Reminds me of the American soldier in Platoon who gets both arms blown off while trying to open a Viet Cong ammo box while he was looking for money or souvenirs. I would assume that American soldiers were forewarned to be careful of booby traps...
Robert Duvall was in this episode, and then reappeared in the final episode of the entire series, in color, in 1967. In that one he plays an American pilot who was shot down a couple of years earlier, but went AWOL, posing as a member of the civilian French resistance in order to be with a French woman he fell in love with. The woman was played by Claudine Longet (who also starred in more than one COMBAT! episode), who got off nearly scot-free after killing her Olympic skiier boyfriend during a booze and coke-fueled argument in Aspen, CO. in 1976.
@@jamescalifornia2964 Duvall, I assume (not Longet)? If so, that's cool. He was in a lot of things before taking off as a star. He was in a special 1-hour episode of Twilight Zone made in 1964, just before the series ended, which never aired and was shelved until resurfacing on TV in the 1980s. It's in the DVD collection today.
Hanley shouldn't have let more than a foot separate him & Duvall most of the time, and tied Duvall's legs together or one arm when he didn't need to use them to hamper any escape attempts, and made him take his boots off too....
More of the traps should have been blown in place for the Americans safety. Only on TV would one keep trusting an enemy combatant. Excellent show. Robert Duvall made a good German soldier. The show reminded me of my Combat Engineer training days.
Yes, he should also have found a way to return the "borrowed" rifle to the Resistance fighter but maybe that was the plan after transferring his POW. 🤔
That’s funny. Hanley never uses the sites on his carbine. He’s always shooting from the hip Hollywood style even at targets 100 yards away. Yet when Duval’s character is entering the church Hanley takes a slow steady aim using his sites … from about 5 yards! LOL!
Robert starred in 3 episodes of Combat 2 in color 1 in Black in White,Outstanding actor 👌

I watched this episode maybe 100 plus times.... Mind blowing acting!
The one thing I like about COMBAT is how many famous movie actors began their acting careers playing bit-parts in this wonderful TV series.
Just like the Twilight Zone , Hitchcock and other drama series..
Mr Duval . A true great of our television screens
I liked him in “ To Kill A Mockingbird “. He played Boo who was a Korean War vet with PTSD or shell shock.
The writers of Combat surely did their research on German mines of WW2. Another superb Combat episode-- The Enemy.
Two great actor that's foe sure wow great show wish TV was like this today we need some good shows now thanks RIP Vic And Rick J
brilliant show - any time - any era - any planet ... Blessings for Vic Morrow !!!

Awsome story of one of the Reich's most resourceful engineers. Brilliant writing.
Robert Duvall as a German soldier.
The man can ACT.
Also, I prefer the B&W episodes.
Gives a more "gritty" feel to the action.
They got the ratings and were slated to make the shift to color but the producers etc agreed with you (Me too ;
This was as good as a human drama as the Fugitive. They both use to teach you a moral lesson.
Great show ,my dad and I watched it every week .Robert Duvall is one of the best actors around. Thanks for showing Combat!

Very realistic.
one thing I love about Combat is that it didn't dumb things down by having everyone speak English
A excellent American actor playing a German soldier with a good German accent not the first time he has played a German officer or soldier on film
One thing i really enjoyed about this show is they still spoke german and french instead of all english.

Lol
It had seen better days, that's for sure!!!!
I'll bet they used that Jeep around the studio lots as a utility vehicle but hadn't changed the tires for 20 years ('45-'65). 🤔🤯😆
I did watch this when it was relatively new. I remember the scale.
Should have retrieved his M1 carbine. He had spare ammunition for that.
Yeah, I thought too... well, its TV drama - what can you say, lol!

Now this is something you have said that I can emphatically agree with!
Robert Duvall was in the civil war movie " gods and generals".
just step back a couple steps sister, that should make us safe.
You would think "Karl" wouldn't have surrendered that easily at the beginning of the show, for how hard he tries to escape the rest of the show!! ???
Because of this drama TV, l became a soldier
That's what they tell you but how many listen? Especially during WW II when you could bring home guns and knives and even blue eyed blondes.
Yeah, Duvall is great at speaking a Texan dialect but this German doesn't get it. Great show!!! Thank you so much for putting this on here.
