Red Ball Express is a 1952 World War II war film directed by Budd Boetticher and starring Jeff Chandler. The film is based on the real ''Red Ball Express'' convoys that took place after the D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944. The tag line for the movie is ''"From beachhead to battlefront! They carry the ammo for Patton's Tanks!"'' ==Plot synopsis== August 1944: proceeding with the invasion of France, Patton's Third Army has advanced so far toward Paris that it cannot be supplied. To keep up the momentum, Allied HQ establishes an elite military truck route. One (racially integrated) platoon of this Red Ball Express encounters private enmities, German resistance, minefields, and increasingly perilous missions. Lt Chick Campbell, head of the platoon, clashes with Sgt Red Kallek over an incident when they were civilians where Kallek's brother died. General Gordon, played by Howard Petrie, appears to have been based on General Patton, although Patton is also specifically mentioned in the film. Major General Frank Ross, who was in charge of the real Red Ball Express, acted as a technical adviser.〔(Jeremy Arnold, 'Red Ball Express', ''Turner Classic Movies'' ) accessed 5 August 2012〕
