Guadalcanal Diary description
This is a far cry from The Thin Red Line, but it's engaging and efficient World War II propaganda about the opening of the South Pacific campaign that would ultimately turn the tide of the war. Anxious and unsuspecting Marines land on the Solomon Islands and quickly learn how to engage the Japanese in foxhole warfare. It's full of archetypal characters (tough sergeant Lloyd Nolan, Brooklyn cabby William Bendix, lusty Mexican Anthony Quinn, and gravel-mouthed Lionel Stander) and well-staged battle scenes. There's even a battle-weary narration to provide authenticity and historical perspective. All around, a good grunt film. --Bill Desowitz |

Outdated

| I bought this video for my husband who is an avid war movie fan. I sat down to watch it with him. He and I felt that it took a long time to see any war action. It was an okay movie, but it is very outdated by today's standards. For the life of me, I cannot imagine any soldiers of today - talking as sweet and corny and singing like these actors do. It's a nice war movie for the year 1943 - when I suppose everything was sugar coated. |
