Negative Positive
Title: Another of the great war films.
Review: This is the one that should be paired with "Bataan," instead of "Back to Bataan." John Ford had directed and filmed a number of combat documentaries before making this film, while Robert Montgomery had been a PT Boat commander in combat. The result is another of the great war films. LIke "Bataan," it is very poignant and noticeably absent is the hyper-patriotic jingoism of many war films of the era. See these two back-to-back, and you will have a poignant movie-viewing experience.
