Incredible that this is here and looking so good. But please everyone remember to add a minute of nothing to the end so the giant up next suggestions don't cover up the credits.

[@jamesnorton8316]

I had to pay attention that this was a 1948 movie. It felt like a moral builder from 1941,or 42. The squadron went from none killed to all wiped out. No happy ending. A very different type of a war movie. Held my attention from beginning to end. Thanks for posting.💚💙💜👍👍👍

Very much enjoyed. As a veteran of Hollywood filmmaking this could almost be a stage play or radio play. They got quite a bit of story mileage out of a single stage of sets cleverly edited with actual war footage. Also interesting to note the length of the film. Implying it was likely a B Picture. They tended to run :70-:80 minutes

[@TheOldfart50]

Funny how it doesn’t mention the RAAF Kittyhawks that were the first fighters to defend Port Moresby and the fact that there were RAAF fighters there when supposedly it was only US fighters. Not to disparage the US efforts but to ignore the RAAF efforts or claim that Guadalcanal was the first victory over the Japanese-both Kokoda and Milne Bay were Aussie victories completed before the Marine victory.

[@allandavis8201]

Under normal circumstances I would have complained as well, but as this is more about the men and of course lovely lady I thought I would let it slide, but you are 100% right, it always makes me wonder why the ANZACS never seem to get the recognition they deserve, their action in both WWI & WWII, not to mention Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam can’t be understated in my opinion, some of the finest fighting men and women (nowadays) in the world, thanks ANZACS. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺🇳🇿🇺🇦

[@detdet3871]

Has the Oztralian film industry ever made a movie about any of these theaters?

[@TheOldfart50]

@@detdet3871 yes the classic being KOKODA. Not denigrating the Marines especially the First Division who recovered in Melbourne and who proudly wear the Southern Cross on their divisional patch. MacArthur tried to minimise the efforts of the AIF to the point that he called the Rats of Trobruk cowards when it was they who held Trobruk for months and inflicted the first major defeat of the German army. Cheers

[@LeonAust]

First time the Japanese were defeated was not on Guadalcanal but at Milne bay by the Aussies, no movie, no history books zilch. Oh and the first time the Germans were stopped on land was by Aussies at Tobruk............got a movie out of that one.

[@krr6581]

I agree with the OP, however this movie like many others were made to get the support of the American public at home. In all the theaters where people watched movies like this there was advertising for the sale of war bonds to help fund the war efforts. For the most part few in the US knew anything about the Aussies or New Zealanders accomplishments fighting the Germans or the Japanese.

[@user-bn2ob5ee6p]

The dialog between Skipper and Jean at his plane has more exciting sex in it than the explicit unconvincing garbage in the movies produced today.

Really easy on the eyes, and a good actor. She had a short career because the producer who discovered her "didn't know what to do with her". He was Hal Wallis. He had a successful career, but he sure dropped the ball with her. It's a shame, because she had talent and looks.

[@allandavis8201]

I have watched this movie before and i really enjoyed it, however it is a much better copy and sound so I think I will enjoy it even more. Ok, I am confused about Jeans husband getting killed at Dunkirk, I can think of no reason other than her husband was British for him to be killed at Dunkirk, the Eagle Squadron wasn’t formed, and as far as I know there wasn’t any American/Canadian units there either, I hope it gets explained as it will bug me. I don’t remember the scene from the first time I watched this film so fingers crossed 🤞.

[@dalewarke7763]

When Dunkirk occurred America was still neutral. It is possible Americans volunteered to fight in British units. The US Army may have had some observers in the area as well. In New Guinea in 1943 had the US 8th Army on the island which included 5th Air Force commanded by Lt. General George C. Kenny. Their main objective was attacking Japanese ships in the area.

[@Paladin1873]

Rather like mentioning the radio came from a derelict P-47. Thunderbolts didn't enter the Pacific war until 1943.

[@scvandy3129]

"allandavis8201," It is certainly valid to question the historical accuracy by date of when and where the American forces were involved; from the Comments apparently NOT in Dunkirk. So the screenwriter and the fact checking department at 20th Century Fox Studios need a demerit; their wrists slapped. But from the perspective of the audience getting swept up in the story I think the more important point was that Jean lost her beloved spouse due to the international conflict in which his bravery and selfless participation could not overcome the inevitable: K.I.A., killed in action. The sadness that overwhelmed her may have contributed to her sharing her talent as a singer, a songstress extraordinaire, displaying her ultra-sweet femininity anywhere the American forces were stationed with minimal consideration to herself to the potential for danger.

[@ernestpaul2484]

Did he say "P-47" or "C-47"? If it was a C-47 then it would be correct.@@Paladin1873

[@KarlBeeThree]

Though Canadian troops joined the British Expeditionary Force in late 1939, there were not large numbers in France in May 1940. The Historic UK website notes some Canadians were evacuated from Dunkirk, along with French, Belgian and British troops.

"elgato894," What a sanctimonious, uninformed, holier-than-thou remark about a time in history at least T W E N T Y Y E A R S before the U.S. Surgeon General's report on the deadly consequences of the tobacco habit, allowing 46% -- nearly half -- of adult Americans to enjoy cigarette smoking with a clear conscience; and for the servicemen the percentage over 50% as smoking was of no consequence for them because it was FREE, as a result of the cigarette manufacturers, the armed forces of the U.S.A. and the U.S.O., American Red Cross, Salvation Army, religious organizations, Girl Scouts and Boy Scout troops, etc. shipping millions of packs 'to the boys.' From the manufacturers' point of view, a sinister marketing practice for sure, to maintain the fighting men's addiction to nicotine so as to ensure they'll continue the habit, but paying for it like everyone else stateside, once they return to civilian life. "elgato894," It's one thing to Comment on the proliferation of individuals smoking, yet it's so obvious to all why bother? For the really curious, including those anxious to have their Comment available for consumption within KZbin Universe, the reason is understood when one performs 30 seconds of research, online. But to insinuate that ALL THESE PEOPLE are only smoking because it looks "pretty COOL" when their bodies are likely to be ripped to shreds and burned beyond recognition due to the DEADLY circumstances they find themselves in, well, surely "looking cool" is the furthest thing on their minds. In conclusion, your Comment -- this day's third of three from you, BTW -- 'takes the cake.' "Cult Cinema Classics, many thanks for a memorable, meaningful show; enhanced with a sharp, clear print and good sound."

[@larryfanning2173]

Relax Oldfart, the movie is not a documentary. Just a story. Back in those days most of these movies are just about Americans and attempted only show things in a very favorable view of them. As time went by there was plenty of time to show the ugliness of war. But the last thing on there mind was showing all the people working to win that conflict. I don’t watch old movies like this to get the details of the conflict. The first words of the movie says this is a story of men.
