5.0 out of 5 stars Relevant Even Today July 3 2004
By Nancy Ferraro
Format:VHS Tape
While this pic is set during the VietNam war, it is still very relevant today with what is going on in the world. I feel it is an accurate depiction of the horrors of war, the lonliness of the soldiers and nurses and the compassion of the military personnel. Ken Wahl and Cheryl Ladd are excellent as the leads and your heart aches for them when they are apart and then finally reunited. The reunion never fails to bring tears to my eyes. This should be seen by all.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE SECOND CASUALTY OF WAR Jun 20 2004
By Gregory Saffady
Format:VHS Tape
If innocence is the first casualty of war, romance is certainly the second. Both are explored in PURPLE HEARTS, Sidney J. Furie's second Vietman installment, 6 years post his classic THE BOYS IN COMPANY C. This could have been the Vietman War chick flick but instead it's a tight drama with solid acting by leads Ken Wahl and Cheryl Ladd, and great support by James Whitmore, Jr. (fantastic as a stoic CIA operative), Stephen Lee and the always great R. Lee Ermey, playing (what else?) a USMC gunnery sergeant. Get this one and BOYS to DVD ASAP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must see Jun 29 2003
By Marion L. Derrey
Format:VHS Tape
This movie is a sleeper, and excellent movie that never got alot of publicity. It is a must have for Viet Nam movie lovers. A great combination of action, love, tragedy, and comedy set in the turmoil of the Viet Nam war.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad
Some of the battle scenes are surprisingly good in spite of the glaringly small production values. I particularly enjoy R. Read more
