From the Halls of Montezuma. To the Shores of Tripoli.

U.S. Marines battle to take control of a Japanese held island in the Pacific…

Directed by Lewis Milestone, Halls of Montezuma is unabashed in its flag waving paean to the U.S. Marines. With a strong ensemble cast to act out the play, Milestone intercuts real war footage with skilled recreations of the guts and glory mission undertaken by the men.

Film is very keen to let us know what… read the rest.
