Yet another review<\/a> of everyone’s favorite sound effect, the Wilhelm<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n

In the 1951 movie Distant Drums<\/em> starring Gary Cooper, a small band of soldiers were crossing a swamp in pursuit of Seminole Indians. While wading through the Everglades one unnamed soldier was attacked and dragged underwater by an alligator. His last sound as he died was a startled scream. <\/p>\n

In The Charge at Feather River<\/em> two years later, a soldier named Private Wilhelm screamed in what sounded like alligator-assaulted agony when he was struck by an arrow. In fact, his cry of pained surprise was practically identical to unnamed soldier’s. Both men would soon be forgotten as a bit parts in B-movies, seen by relatively few moviegoers. But the holler they bellowed went on to be heard by millions\u2013 if not billions\u2013 of people worldwide. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
