Producer and Cinema Retro contributor Steven J. Rubin has partnered with
Beyond the Sea producer Arthur E. Friedman to bring the life story of Audie Murphy to the big screen. Murphy, one of the nation's most decorated soldiers, gained international fame for his daring exploits in WWII. He eventually had a successful acting career that was cut short when he perished in a plane crash in 1971. Murphy played himself in the hit 1955 WWII pic
To Hell and Back. Rubin and Friedman plan to adapt the Don Graham biography of Murphy,
No Name on the Bullet, for the screen. Murphy's son Terry is participating in the project. For more
