Now, don’t confuse “Battle Cry” with “Cry Of Battle” from 1963. Both movies star Van Heflin. “Cry Of Battle” was on a double bill at the Texas Theater in the Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff on November 22, 1963. After Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed Dallas police office J.D. Tippett, he fled into the Texas Theatre without paying for a ticket. Theater management called police who showed up in just a few minutes. Oswald didn’t get to see “Cry Of Battle” but he did catch a minute or two of “War Is Hell” (1962, Burt Topper).
On a game thread a few years ago, I offered the clue "Oswald's last flick" and someone replied "War Is Hell" almost immediately. I was keenly disappointed.
I read Battle Cry about 20 years ago and thought it very hokey. Guys are itching for glory.
