All-American hero John Wayne takes a crew of construction workers and turns them into one of WWII's toughest fighting forces in this action-packed war classic. But first he has to convince the army brass to let his civilians bear arms and then he's got to whip them into combat shape. Now Wayne is fighting for his life on a different battlefield when he's brought up on court-martial charges for leading his troops in an all-out assault against the Japanese. It's Wayne at his best playing the kind of rough-and-tumble man of honor that made him a legend and Hollywood's... biggest star. An entertaining combination of strong supporting performances by Daniel O'Keefe and ravishing about-to-be superstar Susan Hayward. [show more]
