Milestone trims war film endings to quiet power
Veteran director Lewis Milestone rejects overblown battle finales. He recalls replacing 400 extras and a grisly hanging scene with a single quiet butterfly finale as Lew Ayres, in makeup, nearly reaches for a butterfly. Milestone praises stark wartime realism and notes live maneuvers at Camp Pendleton for The Halls of Montezuma.
