They Were Expendable: Review

starstarstarstarstar
In direct contrast to the flag-waving, jingoistic propaganda films typical of Hollywood during World War II, John Ford's masterpiece is a somber and moving account of America's defeat in the Philippines early in the war. Filming this grim failure, Ford beautifully and poetically captures the heroism and bravery of the men and women who fought there — and does so without impassioned speechifying or gushing patriotism. John Wayne, Robert Montgomery and Donna Reed star. Read the complete review for They Were Expendable
