gripping story based on actual incidents
the blurb at the top of the page has nothing to do with the movie, which is kind of a combo of pearl harbor, a marine island invasion , and the battle of leyte gulf. lots of romance too. great acting by great actors. i'm 73, i grew up on war movies (my dad was an e.t.o. veteran) and this is one of my favorites, a cut above most john wayne war movies.
