646f9e108c December, 1941. With no hope of relief or re-supply, a small band of United States Marines tries to keep the Japanese Navy from capturing their island base.
In November 1941, Major Caton takes command of the small Marine garrison on Wake Island. His tendency toward spit and polish upsets the men's tropical lassitude, but Pearl Harbor changes everything. Soon the island is attacked and the Marines pull together day by day; but how long can they hold out?
This is a great WW II film about an Island in the Pacific where the United States lost a great deal of their Marine soldiers. The Japs had attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and their were a few Islands that the United States had bases on in the Pacific. The Japs went to the White House to visit FDR and talked about peace and prosperity, and as soon as they left Washington, D.C. the bombs started attacking and making IT A DAY TO REMEMBER at Pearl Harbor! Brian Donlevy, (Maj.Geoffrey Caton),"Waco",'66, was a commander over the grounds forces and Air Force on Wake Island, Robert Preston,(Pvt. Joe Doyle),"The Music Man",'62 were great supporting actors along with Albert Dekker,(Shad McClosky),"Kiss Me Deadly",55, and William Bendix,(Pvt. Smacksie),"The Life of Riley",'53 TV Series. This film is not a documentary film and has some Hollywood versions, but it still is a great film with fantastic actors. There are also plenty of vintage fighting scenes between the Jap Pilots and the Americans.
This isn't too bad if you don't mind war time propaganda and like some of the other war movies like Bataan and Guadalcanal Diary. This one was directed by John Farrow and doesn't have any really big stars like Brian Donlevy and William Bendix. The movie starts out right before pearl harbor in which a new captain shows up, played by Donlevy, and some of the men are bored. Some of them want to leave but after Pearl Harbor they all want to stay. Then the Japanese come and start bombing 'em and they are running out of supplies fast. This movie is just like Bataan but it's hard to tell which one is better. It's a decent movie and it's great that they don't make any more wartime propaganda pictures any more.
