Arguably one of the better WW2 movies. As Pearl Harbor is being devastated, a limited number of Marines on the small Pacific island Wake face an onslaught of Japanese prowess by sea and air. Knowingly outnumbered, these brave men put up the good fight for pride and country. John Farrow directs this action packed film that is commended for the moral boost it provided. The special effects are very good considering the era and technology available. I've watched this flick several times over the years and it still has an appeal.
The very talented cast includes: Brian Donlevy, Robert Preston, William Bendix, Albert Dekker, Macdonald Carey and watch for Rod Cameron, Hugh Beaumont and Frank Faylen.
