Rating:  - The use of Guerrilla warfare in the Pacific against Japan
On Guerrilla Warfare is a 1937 Chinese text on
how to fight the Japanese and win. The British called these tactics:
'commando'; hit hard and unexpectedly and run.
The movie is like Billy Mitchell's B25 bomber raid from an aircraft carrier
is about America innovating in the face of defeat.
No one in this movie mentions that the Chinese they were basing
this methods on were Communists. In fact at that time the Soviets
and Chinese Communists were Allies against ... Read More
Rating:  - Inspirational war movie.
Randolph scott is back in 1943 and he hasn't got his cowboy hat or his six shooters. He has to make do with a tommy machine gun that he can't holster which must be akward for him. In the movie I keep thinking he is looking for his horse and I expect him to run out and get on one. I wouldn't of been surpised if he had found one on the island and rode it into battle. With all the short commings its still a very good movie. They do a great job of demonizing the enemy. The story line works very well. American ... Read More
Rating: - The Story about Carlson's Raiders
This 1943 film about the Second Marine Raider Battalion in the South Pacific is based on a true story. Hollywood adjusts the facts to provide dramatic events, even if not a war-time film. Lt. Col. Evans F. Carlson had experience before WW II; he joined the Chinese Eighth Route Army to learn about their successes. The peasants out-fought the Japanese troops because they believed in their cause. (And maybe had a far larger supply of people.) In San Diego they ask for volunteers for a special mission. The volunteers ... Read More

Rating: - DVD cover
Apparently there are several different DVD covers for this film. The DVD I received is a real crack-up. It shows an army P-47 Thunderbolt which never operated with the Marines in the Pacific theater during WWII, and certainly played no part in the Makin operation. It also has a photo of Robert Mitchum dressed in his role as an army brigadier general in "The Longest Day." At the very least the idiots who designed this cover could have used a photo of Mitchum from "Heavan Knows Mr. Allison" in which he did play a Marine ... Read More
