Shades of Gray
NR 1948 · 65 min · ★ 6.7 · Drama, War
After the suppression of "Let There Be Light" (a documentary about combat-induced post-traumatic stress disorders which presented many inconvenient and demoralizing truths), the U.S. Army Signal Corp created this dramatized up-beat remake of the film. Only this time, the production excluded the involvement of John Houston, the producer of the original documentary.
Directed by Joseph Henabery · Written by Mortimer Offner
