    Fairly Good Movie
    I enjoyed this film. The weakest aspect was the acting. The plot for most of the movie (the Japan holiday portion) was entertaining with plenty of comedy relief. That comedy relief was tempered by a healthy dose of 50s stereotyping for both the Japanese and the Marines. It was less predictable than I expected. The battle scenes showed some great action shots of early jet launches (in color) from the aircraft carriers which were well done and the Air Force air to mud scenes with the fighters were good. Overall I had few problems with this movie after taking in to consideration the time period and obviously low budget. Sit back and enjoy a few laughs
