bruce F @bruce999 2d Good overall movie, It's like a war movie. errol is fine and all others are too. See more Dennis B @Honor 01/22/2025 Very well done. It brings you back when the world trembled in fear with the onslaught of evil. See more s r @ScottR 09/23/2020 One of the most popular movies for the armed forces during WW2. It's a little melodramatic, but still it's entertaining and patriotic. Sheridan is beautiful and Flynn doesn't distract. It must have been his trial that subdued his flamboyance. Saw it on TCM. See more 06/16/2020 A great wartime drama film! However, Errol Flynn seems a little mis-cast; just not really the rebellious ambitious type required for this film. See more Thomas M @TMProofreader 02/01/2019 The best thrilling movie ever made! See more 04/02/2016 Really solid little war picture! Surprisingly brutal for its era. See more Read all reviews
