New WW2 movie joins us WW2 dvd collectors
I have been collecting WW2 movies for years. I had never seen or heard of this one till I saw it the other night and checked it out on Amazon. They had it and I bought it then and there. I have watched it 3 or 4 times already
and it is now part of my militaria WW2 dvd/VHS collection.
Good to finally see it.
My uncles platoon was used in this movie. I never got to meet him but at least now I can see him
Great fun for a propodanda film
I had my eye on this film for some time, and finally scored a copy. First off it stars Wallace Beery, playing Sgt Major William Bailey, a soon to retire Marine whos disgruntled that he's not seen actual combat despite his years in service. Set around 1941, we see Sgt Bailey training his men, offering advice and trying to get into a better situation, like that little party currently in China.
But no, he's denied and forced to retire after his years of service. but retires to the Philippines with his wife and daughter. There he tries to settle into retirement, but finds himself training the locals in village defense. Look for the young Robert Blake as one of the village kids. But no, the Japanese decided invade the Philippines (surely you recall that, it was in all the news!) Here Sgt Bailey finally gets his wish for combat and helps take on the invaders bravely.
I cannot give this film 5 stars due to serious errors, First, its 1941, and the troops are wearing...
