Plots(1)
Supplies are dwindling. Troops are hopelessly outnumbered. But even in defeat there is victory. The defenders of the Philippines - including PT-boat skippers John Brickley and Rusty Ryan - will give the U.S. war effort time to regroup after the devastation of Pearl Harbor. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
Reviews (1)
For its time, it's an incredibly well-made film in terms of direction and the scenes it contains. The naval battle is very good. Moreover, that authentic masculine atmosphere is also well captured. Even though it's a patriotic film, it's not overly nationalistic to the point of making you cringe. Still, every now and then you'll get the feeling that nothing is actually happening.
