*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Well, I agree, I am naughty with this kind of production. This kind of ultra patriotic movie that already shows brave soldiers who fight with all their guts against evil Japanese army. And, of course, it begins with the Pearl Harbor "incident", on December 7th 1941...

Nothing unusual, here. Heroes - Donlevy and Russel - fighting for the same woman - Ella Raines. We can see Richard Jaeckel at his acting beginning. A mix up between romance, war sequences - mostly stock shots - training schedules. Action, OK, but boring for me. I prefer hardcore and realistic war movies. Anti war films. The fiercest of them all.

No, it's not a bad feature. A good Jo Kane's indeed. But not my favourite.
