327. Massacre  in Rome.  Web search, andnever saw it.  Looks interesting, but likely too violent for my tastes

Massacre In Rome ( 1973 ) is correct. A little remembered film these days. How many people today would know about the massacre I wonder?

Ardeatine massacre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ardeatine massacre, or Fosse Ardeatine massacre (Italian: Eccidio delle Fosse Ardeatine), was a mass killing of 335 civilians and political prisoners carried out in Rome on 24 March 1944 by German occupation troops during the Second World War as a reprisal for the Via Rasella attack in central Rome against the SS Police Regiment Bozen the previous day.

Subsequently, the Ardeatine Caves site (Fosse Ardeatine)[1] was declared a Memorial Cemetery and National Monument open daily to visitors. Every year, on the anniversary of the slaughter and in the presence of the senior officials of the Italian Republic, a solemn state commemoration is held at the monument in honour of the fallen. Each year, 335 names are called out, a simple roll call of the dead, to reinforce that 335 discrete individuals symbolise a collective entity.[2]

The massacre took place on 24 March 1944 and Rome was liberated from Nazi German occupation on  4 June 1944.

Clue for 329 is that this film was a portrayal of an true historical World War 11 event.

Yes that's the one. I had thought that my clues, particalarly the last one. would have helped to solve this one. The image that  I posted isn't a common one easily found on google.

Good guess but not the correct answer. A clue is that the film is set during the same war as The Bridges Of Toko-Ri was.

A clue for # 332 is that the film stars one of Hollywood's top legendary actors.

It certainly is Operation Pacific ( 1951 ). Well done Bruce.

HONDO

 

A final clue for # 333 is that the film is set during the opening phases of the Korean war.

Robert Mitchum, Ann Blyth

# 333 is Correct. '' The most excitiing action picture ever made'' tagline was certainly a big claim. I viewed this film many yeats ago and remember it as being enjoyable. I always liked Robert Mitchum and Charles McGraw.

Sure is Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence ( 1983 ).

HONDO said:

# 336 clue is beefcake.

Final clue is - in another army.

HONDO

# 336 answer is Tank Force! aka No Time To Die ( 1958 ).  The clue beefcake referred to Victor Mature, while the other clue mentioning in another army was the fact that Mature's character in the film was an American sergeant assigned to the British forces.

Midway the 2019  version is correct.

 I keep a record of all the images that I post on all my quiz threads and this image wasn't one of them, but I also double checked all the 39 War Movies Quiz pages to make sure and the image doesn't appear  there as well.

Thanks much for trying, Lawrence, but 341 doesn't even seem remotely familiar.
