ROUSING WWII YARN
The formation of the Seabees is chronicled here in somewhat meticulous detail when it is not overshadowed by John Wayne. The movie was made at Republic, a "B" studio with top actors, Wayne, Susan Hayward, Dennis O'Keefe and a wonderful supporting cast. Hayward is mainly wasted as the triangular love interest with Wayne and O'Keefe, but she does have a memorable scene with Wayne after being shot by the Japanese. This is a typical war film for it's time to invoke patriotism without detail to accuracy and fares as well as many of it's era thanks to the strong cast which manage to overcome a somewhat wobbly script.
