Now hear me out.There is NO action in this film,NONE.How can it be the best then?Well.first Cagney IS Hulsey.Next all the acting is great.Then the music is outstanding.Seems there is no recording of the score sadly. Finally the story is told in both the US and Japanese points of view and very fast paced and literate I might add.Yes action is great,but this story of Guadelcannels defense can be told without seeing the carnage that ensued.The story was bloodcurdling enough in this case. And Cagneys Quote of Halseys about no great men only great tasks that ordinary man are forced to meet,is heart warming in light of todays events of 9/11
