Summary: Great Cagney Performance
Comment: Great performance by Cagney. As everyone else has mentioned - with so many BAD war movies out - where's the DVD of this?

Summary: Very Well Done! A MUST SEE!
Comment: This is one of the finest docu-dramas I have ever seen. It shows a side of William "Bull" Halsey in a different light. Very well done. James Cagney playes the roll so well you'd think that it was Halsey himself. I believe this is one of Cagney's more forgotten films - but also one of his best. I would love to see this film come out in DVD, I hope it does soon
This movie is a must for any World War II movie collection and ranks up there with my top 10. The direction was done very well and the acting on the mark. A movie that tells about the inner man and makes you think and wonder what a commander goes through on an day to day, hour to hour basis, knowning that he may be sending many under his command into harms way with each order he gives, but also knowing that it must be done.
I believe the narration within the movie was timely, to the point and really helped explain the overall plot. This movie depicts the early days of World War II and many of the internal and gut twisting problems Halsey had to face with little resources at that time.. Again very well done, a terrific movie -- a truly 5 star effort

Summary: NO DVD
Comment: This is a GREAT movie that I wish was on DVD. I also do not understand why it is not shown more often on tv because I see lots of other WW II movies that are not are not as good as this one.

Summary: A gift for a veteran of two wars.
Comment: I bought this for a man in my Rotary Club who is a veteran of both WWII and Korea.This is his favorite movie and he wore out his first cassette watching it over and over.He has no DVD player or computer and has earned the right not to want either.
It is fitting that I offer this review on Memorial Day weekend.
This is a film about only a short time in the life of Bull Halsey, immediately after he was given command of the Guadalcanal campaign,our first offense action in the Pacific campaign, and was filmed well after the war so it was not burdened with a lot of propoganda.This was Cagney's finest moment!
