Twentieth Century-Fox lost no time in bringing the US Marines’ prosperous Solomon Islands campaign to the screen (it was the at the start notable victory of the Pacific war). Respected at the values bright and early for the treatment of its authenticity, Seiler’s film no longer seems exceptionally remarkable, featuring the usual span-section of pleasant American types (with a heroic chaplain at their head) as they go about their business. The exile is better than most, and it is impressively staged, given that location filming actually took place in Camp Pendleton, California. (From the post by Richard Tregaskis.) TCh.
