This Easter weekend TV One will air its latest movie “To Hell and Back” starting Ernie Hudson and Vanessa Bell Calloway.
The new and original production will premiere on Saturday, April 4th at8PM/ET and is a modern day adaptation of “The Book of Job.”
From TVOne.tv:
Joe Patterson (Ernie Hudson), a wealthy land developer, learns as God and the Devil take a wager on his blessed life that results in a series of tragedies that test his faith.
With a happy wife (Vanessa Bell Calloway) andsix beautiful kids, Joe struggles to endure murder, fatal accidents and illness all while doing his best to remain truthful to the god he believes has given him everything.
On Wednesday, Calloway told Roland Martin, host of NewsOne Now “To Hell and Back” is an “important story, especially in today’s time we have so much thrown at us — you got to always remain grateful and you always have to remind yourself who really is in charge. God is in charge.”
Calloway said, “To Hell and Back” reminds her of things that she has to deal with on a regular basis. “You have to have the faith to know that God has your back and the patience to let him dohis thing. And that’s a very hard thing to do is to have patience and faith at the same time.”
“We want what we want when we want it how we want it as quickly as we want it and it don’t always go that way. God is always in charge, so we have to just sit back and let him do his thing.”
Calloway also talked about her acting career spanning stage to screen to online during her chat with Martin.
“God didn’t bring me this far just to drop me. When I’m presented with opportunities I always say ‘Well God gave me these opportunities for a reason.’ So I never worry about things working out. I’ve learned over life everything just kind of works itself out because I was blessed with it because I’m supposed to have it. So I have to believe it was given to me for a reason.”
Calloway touted TV One for “changing the whole spectrum of the tone of what people are seeing and we just can’t depend on network TV anymore to give us jobs we have to be open and take jobs where ever they come and with the diversity of television as far as the channeling with the Netflix and the Hulu and the Amazon … everybody is getting in the game.”
The long-time actress also told Martin she will be staring in an Amazon Studios project called “The Hand of God.” Until then you can watch Vanessa Bell Calloway in action Easter weekend in the TV One original movie “To Hell and Back.”
“To Hell and Back” premieres Saturday, April 4, 8PM/ET on TV One.

This question contains spoilers…(view spoiler)[Actually, I have a comment. I am a military historian & have read hundreds of histories, and this remains one of the best. What is so remarkable is that the author, Audie Murphy, was the single most decorated US warrior of all time - including winning the Congressional Medal of Honor. Yet as a man he's so self-effacing that unless you already know what he did, you'll wonder 'how did he win the MOH?' (hide spoiler)]

Ah, i had a crush on Audie Murphy when i was a kid so i read and enjoyed this book back when it first came out.
My crush was short lived as were all my crushes on movie stars, western singers, and boys at school. To this day i still like the looks of a man in a cowboy hat, jeans, and cowboy boots, but i could never live the life unless our ranch was an animal sanctuary.
p.S. I just looked. It was published in 1949 but i rezd it in the 50s. Saw the movie in 1955 first.

Update: I read this memoir several years ago and am now about 50% through Beyond Band of Brothers The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters. Comparisons will be inevitable, I suppose, especially since Winters started as an officer. Both are interesting, but I think Murphy's the more introspective.
It was interesting to read this account of Audie Murphy's travails in World War II (Murphy was one of the most highly decorated soldiers of that war) having read Ambrose's hagiographic Band of Brothers.

Audey Murphy was always a brave soldier. He began with weigh-the-odds courage, but ended up acting like what can best be described as a 'beserker'.
He was first in action after Salerno, and was a gallant soldier. During the Italian campaign a lot of friends and comrades were killed, the Anzio beachhead being the worst place. He even fell in love with a nurse at Anzio who was blown to bits by Anzio Annie.

I have a borderline obsessive fascination with Nazis and Hitler.

About 5 pages in 'To Hell and Back' I thought the banter between GIs was witty, though a little too planned for a 5th grade drop out like Audie Murphy, not that I'd begrudge him a little editing assistance. Twenty pages in, his squad looked like the prototypical GI movie, something like Sam Fuller's 'A Walk in the Sun', there was an Irishman, a guy from Brooklyn, the American Indian, Texan(Audie) and so forth.

The thing that most set this war story apart from others that I've read is that Murphy neither glorifies nor vindicates the war throughout his memoirs. The pages trudge on like a road march and seep through with exhaustion and pain (peppered with camaraderie) that's grimly accepted until it's over.

I've read and re-read this book many times. For several years I worked with a fellow who had been a scout in Murphy's platoon (Irv Tischler) and who was present when Murphy intiated the action that led to his Medal of Honor. Anyone with any sense, Tischler said, got up and ran in the opposite direction. Murphy was convinced that nothing would ever happen to him, and he was almost right. A number of times he was the sole survivor (or sole officer survivor) of incidents that killed everyone else.

Being the author and actor of the same title is great. It concentrates on the Platoon's growing mature, descriptions of battles and soldiers surviving injuries. Audie Murphy rises from private to lieutenant dealing with 'brother' loses (Brandon, Errigan, Novak, Swope and more).

Inspirational! This book is what made me start reading WW2 history and military books.
I'll have to go back and reduce a star for some other war memoirs, because this one is on another level. That's how good it is. Actually, it's right there with Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer, almost a twin book. One man surviving against all odds on Allied side, the other fighting for Germans. This one has its own specialty though: Insane amounts of humor interspersed with tragedies of war. There's so much wisecracking lines documented from soldiers, one comes to think war is one hell of a catal...more
Growing up I remember watching Audie Murphy Westerns with my Dad and had no idea of his life before becoming a movie star. That changed when as a teenager I watched 'To Hell and Back' and found out that this was his own story! He was the most decorated soldier of WW2. It had been on my wish list ever since.

I loved this book. Sometimes I would stop enjoying it as a well written story and remember that this was an auto-biography. When one of the guys killed his good friend by accident it was heart wrenching. The way that these men are so close, honest, and crude when death is always at hand, is a side of life we rarely live. Audie is witty and the characters are incredibly colorful and real. 'I have seen war as it actually is, and I do not like it.'
I learned of this guy while looking for summer activities for AJ and came across the Cotton Museum/Audie Murphy Museum. I looked him up and was intruigued. He was the most decorated soldier of WWII. This is his biography and reads like a war movie. I couldn't put it down. I can't believe people can experience those kinds of things and move on.
Really different from any other war book I've read. It's all first person, reads more like a series of extended journal entries. There's no backstory, no history, no maps. You're just there, experiencing the war day to day with Audie Murphy. Makes you really appreciate the soldiers that went through this and other wars, and very thankful that I haven't had to.
This is an excellent depiction of what a Soldier and a leader experience in combat, and it comes from the best. If you're going to read any autobiographies or first-hand accounts of war, then read this one.

You get a real sense of what it is like to be in the midst of war. Sometimes I felt that it read more like a movie script than a memoir but then it gave the book life.

Audie Murphy was a poor farm boy from a little dirt town in Texas. His mom died when he was young and his dad took off. He scrambled a living until war broke out and he wanted to sign up. Too skinny to be a Marine, too short for a paratrooper, he finally got taken on in the infantry. They shipped him off to North Africa, but by then, most of the fighting was over. So he didn't get in on the war until Italy, but he made up for lost time once he was there. He was wounded several times, but kept ru...more

Reading Audie Murphy's account of his World War II experiences in 'To Hell and Back' is a surreal experience. I've seen the movie many times, but I only recently bought the book. It always amazed me watching him on-screen realizing he really did these things. Many of the characters in the book seem like stereotypes. They were all real.

Audie painted himself as a self-righteous punk early on in the book, likely with the point of contrasting how the war changed his outlook, his demeanor, and his attitude. His fearlessness and loyalty to his fellow soldiers was as amazing as any stories I've heard, and as far as I know these stories have been regarded as true.

Considering Murphy was the most decorated soldier from WWII, this book has immediate appeal. The story is filled with action throughout with occasional reflections on the nature war and the men who serve. I would have liked to learn more background information about Murphy and his comrades to help connect more with those fighting.
Started out okay, but after getting used to the style of righting (mostly in the first person), I really enjoyed it. The author wrote of his and his units exploits in a very unassuming way, never blowing his horn, but always mentioning the exploits of others in the unit when with him. A leader that lived his leadership, always looking out and giving credit to his men.
Very good WW II journal written in 1949. You will appreciate all of those who served in keeping the United States free. If you are not grateful when finished reading you don't appreciate your own freedom.

The story of a man who wanted to do what he could for his country. This story is written so simple by a true hero that really did not feel that he was one.

[Audio:] A sobering account of this WWII veteran's tour of duty in the European Theater. Humbling, agonizing, at times humorous, Murphy does a great job of providing the reader with a sense of the bone-weariness of infantry life along with the gruesome nature of war.

This was a really great quick read. It's like a WWII version of all Quiet on the Western Front. It pulls no punches about what combat was like and the men that make up the characters in the story are hilarious. Horrifying and funny at the same time.
I'm currently reading this one and it's great! Sure there is blood and guts but mostly emphasizes the relationships between the men. Excellent living history book! Can't wait to finish it!

Murphy probably doesn't need any introduction, but for those who might need one, he was one of the most decorated U.S combat soldiers of World War II. This book is a memoir of his time fighting in uniform from North Africa (briefly) through Sicily, Italy, southern France and into Germany. Murphy wrote the book with ghostwriter David 'Spec' McClure, who served in the U.S. Army's Signal Corps during World War II.

“Now comes the picture of mass defeat, the most awesome spectacle of the war. It is in the bent bodies of old women who poke among ruins seeking some miserable object that will link their lives with the old days. It is in the shamed darting eyes of the defeated. It is in the faces of the little boys who regard our triumphant columns with fear and fascination. And above all it is in the thousands of beaten, dusty soldiers who stream along the roads towards the stockades. Their feet clump wearily, mechanically, hopelessly on the still endless road of war. They move as haggard, gray masses, in which the individual had neither life nor meaning. It is impossible to see in these men the quality that made them stand up and fight like demons out of hell a few shorts months ago.” — 10 likes
