It's World War II. Major Dan Kirby (John Wayne) is hard on his marines. His subordinate Captain Carl Griffin thinks the Major is overdoing it. But Kirby proves that there is a method to his madness after all. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
At first glance, it's a fairly standard example of what John Wayne typically played, but on the other hand, I liked how the film particularly focused on making the aerial battles dramatic and dynamic. This is something that makes the film worth watching even today, even though it might otherwise blend in among other Wayne movies.
