Films in Focus: 1917

Not much is known about the plot to the upcoming feature film, 1917, just that it takes place, unsurprisingly, in 1917, which is the year the United States officially entered World War I. That said, it stars George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Mark Strong, Andrew Scott, Richard Madden, Claire Duburcq, with Colin Firth, and Benedict Cumberbatch. An amazing cast that should do for World War I what Saving Private Ryan did for the Second World War.

It is scheduled to be released on December 25th, 2019, by Universal Pictures. Perhaps you can decide what the story is all about based upon the accompanying trailer.

Anatomy of War: American Tanks of WWII

Every so often, I noodle around the web looking for interesting things that might pertain to our business or simply give the average collector cause for celebration. Earlier today, I was blown away by the accompanying video, which was posted on YouTube back in July. Produced by AmazingViz, it shows most of the American tanks that saw action in World War II along with a number of proposed designs that never actually saw combat for one reason or another. Considering how many Sherman tanks Forces of Valor plans to introduce in 2020, I immediately thought it pertinent, and helps to give everyone a better sense of the scale and size of our US armored forces tasked with staving off the Axis onslaught. Enjoy!
