He Swore Nol To
Write War Story
—<»—
"Battleground," ;i motion pic
ture hailed as the greatest war
story of this generation, was writ
ten by a writer who laid sworn on
ka mental stack of hibles never to
write ;i "win story."
Robert Pirosh, who claims his
only previous expenenee with il
lethal weapon was playing a violin
with the Johns Hopkins Sym
phony Orchestra in Ins native
Baltimore, woke up one morning
to find himself a combat infan
tr.vman in a foxhole at Bastogne
during the battle ol the Bulge,
Ills experiences and observations,
jotted down on hacks of envelopes
and scraps of paper, later erysta
ltzed into the screen plav of Bat
tlegrnund," showing at the Marco
Theatre, Thursday and Friday'.
Three campaigns, which on
tailed ducking mortars in a fox
hole and clearing’Nazi minefields
and which added up to a Bronze
stiu, gave Pirosh an insight into
the douglifoot's personal view of
war and resulted in a story lie
hind a story stranger than any
Hollywood script
On discharge, the soldier-writ
er assembled his notes. Back in
Hollywood, Dore Sehary, then
production chief at the RKO
studios, suggested there-might he
a screen story in the defense of
Bastogne. Finish promptly pulled
a rough draft from his inside
pocket and "Battleground" was
under way.

The next slop was a visit to
Brigadier General Anthony C.
McAuliffe in Washington, D. C
The general will be remembered
as the orginator of one of history's
shortest but most emphatic quotes
Though Ills division, the famed
101 st Airborne, was outnumbered,
surrounded and short of supplies,
McAuliffe answered Nazi stir
render demand with one word
"Nuts!"
Pirosh asked the general for ad
vice about the story of Battle
ground." "Nuts!" repeated the
monosyllabic officer, "You know
more about it Ilian I do You were
on the spot " His sole wish was
that the public should be shown
the G. 1. viewfftiint of wai
I’irosh went to work and just
about time the script was near
ing completion. Bore Sehary
shifted to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
to head that studio's production
under l.ouis It Mayer. Top prior
ity on his schedule was still "Bat
tlcground," on which Pirosh be
came associate producer.
Indicative of the studio’s inter
est in the film was seen in the
selection of director and cast.
William A. Wellman, film voter
an of such soldier pictures as
"Wings," “Beau Gcstc" and "The
Story of G I. Joe,” and himself
a living aee ol World War I, was
the logical choice as director
