'Gung Ho!': The Story of Carlson's Makin Island Raiders (1943)
A True Classic

Sets the standard for war moves to come.
Many complain about "clichés", how can you call the move that created the clichés as cliché? Are Edward Weston's photographs "cliche"? He set the standards, copied by many, as does this movie.
As kids growing up in the 50's, watching movies like this on weekend TV set the stage for many battles between our block and those kids across the street.
Great action scenes, heroic Americans mowing down "Japs" by the hundreds, explosions, airplanes bombing & strafing, ships, submarines, this movie has it all!
