      Audience Member If you're looking for a colorful war propaganda filled WW2 movie this it! I mean, it's literally narrated by the same man who narrated all the misleading movie tone news reels during the war. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Good but rather typical World War II flag waver. The cast does fine. A bit over dramatic, but most flag wavers tend to be that way. Surprisingly in color. Rousing and entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
