I saw at X a tribute to him, didn't know anything about him, and lead me to searched and found this film..I become a fan today..What a magnificent soldier.Rest In Peace.
Audie was one of the greatest men that ever lived, we're so fortunate he went into the movies after the war, and although many only knew him as the original Penguin, Burgess Merridith (Joe Butterfly) was one of Hollywood's busiest actors.
*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 2 weeks before his 20th birthday! His steely inner confidence was forged in the crucible of war! His soft Texas drawl 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 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.
Wow! I am getting a tattoo of Audie Murphy.
“You’ve never seen your wife?” may be the greatest comedy line ever delivered. That guy deserved a Best Supporting Actor award.
I'd totally forgotten about this gem
Saw this movie a year or so ago, and just watched it again. I've always like Audie Murphy, and he was great in this comedy movie. Wish he'd done more of them. I've always liked Burgess Meredith too, and he was very entertaining in this movie. I also liked seeing all the other familiar faces in this movie. It's so much better than most of the movies made today.
You never thought onion-stuffed olives could get a man in trouble, but they did.
Joe butterfly with Audie Murphy's and george nader .
I never saw it before
What a awesome classic movies.
Great cast. Burgess Meredith is an incredible actor. This to Twilight Zone to Batman to Rocky. Incredible! Fun to watch. Audie Murphy is awesome.
And The Major, Herbert Anderson went on to play Mr. Mitchell, the Dad in the Dennis the Menace tv Series.
One of his first movies, "The Red Badge Of Courage",
proved Audie's acting chops.
Stylistically, the movie was a trend setter in film history.
I recommend it highly.
As usual, I watched this film because Audie Murphy was in it. It's not my favorite but better than nothing. Thanks for posting it.
Audie Murphy God bless him was a freckled faced kid who earned every medal and The congressional Medal of Honour at 21/years of age . You could see the freckles when they pinned the Medal of Honour on the young man .he looked no more than 14 years of age .
You are correct that Audie Murphy received every medal for valor this country awards including the Medal of Honor - he earned at the age of 19 which makes it even more amazing. Yes, you could see the freckles. What a good man who suffered severely from PTSD but eventually spoke out about it.
This movie had a wonderful sense of humor. Really enjoyed it!!!
Hiya Timothy from a different Timothy, how are you sir? Me old, real old. Sigh.
Really love this movie. Its nice to see Audie Murphy in a comedy. He should have been able to do more of them - he did quite well!!! Fun movie!!
I never thought Orlando Bloom could do comedy with all those adventure movies, but he did.
I don't remember Murph in a comedy before. But he did fit the bill in this one.
Was probably anxious to do something out of the box. A harmless movie.
...even though it was blurry, I still liked the movie. Nice to see Audie Murphy in a comedy. Liked his character and Burgess Meredith's as well.
"Oh Yeah! They've got a border patrol now! To keep you Brooklyn characters, on your OWN side of the river!"
Thanks for the upload. Very much appreciated.
I love this movie and it was great to watch it in it's entirety for a change here on You Tube...
Audie Murphy will always be one of my favourite actors and he plays a great comedy character part in Joe Butterfly...
Burgess Meredith was able to play many different kinds of rolls, here he's playing a wonderful Joe Butterfly...
Thanks for posting the complete movie, much appreciated... have a great day.

Another great Audie movie I haven’t seen. Thanks for posting. Keep up the good work. A lot of great actors in this one,too
I have a copy of this. It's great! Took a bit to actually get on line with Joe. Can't get the Penguin out of my head when it comes Burgess Meredith. Audie, as usual, did a fine job!
Love this movie
This film must have been a high point for a medal of honer winner.
I love this movie
it is BLURRED so much the eyes hurt
very enjoyable. it was obvious to see how audie murphy was such a star. he owned each scene he was in and just acted in such a natural way. amazing to realize how he was such a conflicted guy in real life with his wartime nightmares and getting typecast into many westerns at universal despite that he did a first rate job in them.
Is it too late to have a crush on Audie??
I still have a crush on him after 50 years .
68 years for me. I’ve been to Audie Murphy Day in Greenville TX 3 times ,to his grave at Arlington on his birthday and witnessed the wreath laying ceremony. I love this movie but my favorite is TO Hell and Back.
@darlenegorcyca4677 have you been to the plane crash site ? My faves are No Name on the Bullet and Seven ways from Sundown
To my knowledge this is the only comedy Audiehas ever done. He's not bad at all.
fuzzyburnette if you watch Tumbleweed or Ride the Crooked Trail. There is humor in those as well.
Destry Rides Again
Cool in movie. Joe Butterfly looks like Mickey from Rocky. Mertith ?? It was him. Lol
Silly but fun! Enjoy!!
Before I read the comments, THANK YOU! There was so much wrong with this movie that it was a joy to watch!
I grew up in the 60's, I never saw this gem before. Certainly Politically Incorrect: Burgess Meredith playing a Japanese con man? Now I gotta review the real story of Tokyo Rose. The stereotypes and cliches and predictability (the texting app anticipated "predictability ") - all make for a bad movie. But it drew me in and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
It wasn't mean-spirited, but I'm not Japanese: I could see the Japanese being offended. I had to suspend my indignation when I first saw Meredith because I have such respect for him as an actor and I had to see how the producers expected to pull this off.
Then, I came to see Audie Murphy, and he was missing from big chunks of the movie. They say John Wayne always played himself, and I guess the same could be said of Audie Murphy. But I think he was a good actor, holding his own in the roles he was cast in. He was really a supporting character in this movie, but I'm not disappointed.
It's always the story for me. Long ago, I began keying on the credits, and I always look to see who wrote the screenplay. Yet, I don't remember the writer's name now, just that it was a good story that a talented team pulled off. Even Dennis the Menace's dad was in this one!
You know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure I'll read comments highly critical of this movie, and I would understand why. But I also see why so many folks bemoan this PC age that we live in. I remember when they announced that Jonathan Pryce would play the male lead in "Miss Saigon. " I was appalled. Still haven't seen the musical to this day.
I guess what I'm saying is, in this 21st century, we should be sensitive and respectful of everyone. In regard to works of the past, produced in a less "enlightened" time, we have the privilege to vent our displeasure or suspend our indignation and try to enjoy the ride. That's what makes "Blazing Saddles " such a classic.
Thank you.
Spencer no one knows for sure who Tokyo Rose was, there were more than one number 2 Tokyo rose was a war criminal. Get your head straight and stop believing that Marxist crap you your head has been filled with.
There is nothing elightening about the Marx-inspired 'politically correct' indoctrination.
The times past are only 'less enlighted' when viewed through the lens of Marxiat ideology. An important tenet of Marxism is history be branded less important, not meaningful, denigrated.
comment voir ces beaux films d'AUDI MURPHI en version FRANCAISE merci d'avance
Unfortunately, I can't watch the movie due to poor resolution.
My question is why we can't get his movie " To Hell and Back "?
Mine too

YES OF. COURSE. THERE IS. ""TO HELL AND BACK , ( COLLECTION) & OTHER MOVIES
Charles McGraw had a chin and profile like kirk Douglas.Both were in Spartacus.

💥: Now on a ⚖ scale of 1 being very 👎 BAD and a 10 being really 👍 GREAT I give this movie a: 9
grata!
The most Funniest part is where he says “It good he was not running the war for them”. I like English language more than Japanese LOL.
Gerald Himmelspach the picture is bad
It had no sound when I watched it nothing at all
Why is this film so fuzzy????
the movie would have been good but screen looked low quality
Meredith as Brando in Teahouse of august moon¡¡ Tokio so happy, so beautiful, so generous in september 45, is a very fake news¡¡¡
totally unbelievable. Typical 50´s light humor.
Kennan Wynn plays a superb despicable VILLIAN. 😆
Is it true that his mother would only give him one bullet to hunt a rabbit for the family’s supper ?

Burgess Meredith as a Japanese man? That is a hard act to believe, for me!

Humm, there is zero amount of butter in the insect "butterfly". But the insect does 'flutter'. So, I chose to say the insect as a (flutterfly).
To Bluuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrry
Hated to see Burgess in this stereotype role really ridiculous !! Tried to see it because of Audie just couldn't take it.Word was Audie needed the money for some gambling endeavors.RIP
Respect
What? Mickey Rooney or Marlon Brando weren't available?
coment
Guess I should of watched more its a comedy first time I said anything negative will give it another watch maybe Great cast Burgess Merredith, Audie etc Not so good at all
Virtually unwatchable due to the horrible video quality. Kinda like watching a film though the bottom of an old coke bottle covered in vasoline.
Good description 😀
at ease captain cornhole
Posted by a Russian guy, why? Our guys don't post Russian movies or Russian anything! Just an observation.
It is not war movie
very bad quality rip
Tokyo Rose traitor or something else. Read wiki on her before deciding.
Traitor? No way. She was an American citizen who worked for the Japanese during WWII. But she was a female and American females cannot be held accountable for anything at any time. Just blame the nearest man' He was the traitor. Nowadays she would be considered a Democrat. Great movie though.
,v. l
456 she was a traitor. When an American goes to the enemy's side they are traitors.
Also 456wagger she served a prison sentence just like one of the Berlin Betties, The other Berlin Betty was barred from ever entering this country
I prefer "The Teahouuse in the August Moon" instead that one. It´s very dull and lessfunny.
I'm aware of the "Gay" Navy stereotype but WTF? EVERYONE IS GAY in this film!!!
Audie Murphy is CERTIFIED AMERICAN BADASS #1 (stop-motion animation comedy)
Get a life CA
Certified American - I'm not certain where you see everyone in this movie as gay ---- Even Audie?????
Certified American i
Certified none of the actors were gay. Get your gay head out of the dirt. This is a comedy about ww2.
CA get a life and no no one in this film is gay. I feel sorry for you
We were either so short on acting candidates or so prejudiced against Asians that we had to cast an American Caucasian for the part of Joe Butterfly. Sad.
In 1957 Hollywood this was normal. Maybe watch "Emperor (2013)" if you want a more grim and accurate depiction of what the weeks and months after VJ day were really like but this movie has it's merits, it shows how we wanted to move past the war and heal the wounds.
The movie is a comedy but more so it is a spoof of real events. In every theater of operations, there were GIs engaged in black market. The casting was part of the spoof.
Started watching this but quit. I couldn't deal with Audie Murphy being in such a silly movie. Not saying he was bad just that I couldn't get my head around the concept.
keenan wynn and george nader were gay
yes he was a Hero... but also killed a MURDERED a man in Arizona
Derf you are an idiot trying rile people up. Yes he is a hero who fought for your freedom to speak. Idiot
That is totally untrue. He did threaten a guy but he did not kill him. He's Audie Murphy for pete's sake! If he'd have really wanted to kill a man do you think he would have missed? He was a marksman. That was his defense with the grand jury too and they acquitted him. Look it up.
Who killed AND murdered ???????????
