The Red Badge of Courage is a 1951 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer American war film directed by John Huston and produced by Gottfried Reinhardt, with Dore Schary as executive producer. Huston wrote the screenplay, adapted by Albert Band from Stephen Crane's 1895 novel of the same name. The film's cinematographer was Harold Rosson, and the music score was composed by Bronislau Kaper. The production of the film is the subject of Lillian Ross's 1952 book Picture, originally published as a series in The New Yorker. The American Civil War film is a sparse but faithful retelling of the story and incorporates the book's narration. The film stars former World War II hero Audie Murphy, Bill Mauldin, Andy Devine, Arthur Hunnicutt, and Royal Dano.
