From a historical perspective, "Darby's Rangers" gives the viewer an adequate (but far from brilliant) representation of the formation of the US army Rangers during WW2, from their training by British Commandos in Scotland to their deployment to North Africa and later the Italian Campaign. However, the action is very poor as these scenes were blatantly shot in a warehouse on a soundstage and it is very distracting. It is hard to believe this came out the same year as "Dunkirk". The cinematographer is quite poor and I am not too sure what was wrong but the black and white just did not look well in certain scenes. The script is very poor. There is far too much slapstick that is utterly embarrassing, dialogue to measure and enough melodrama to make one vomit.
