Movie Reviews of Merrill's Marauders
Movie Review: One of the great movies of World War Two
Summary: 5 Stars
Easily one of the most inspiring and combat intensive movies of WWII. There are some great scenes of fire and maneuver tactics; especially in the opening battle when the platoon led by Lt. "Stock" (Ty Hardin) hits the Japanese artillery battery before they descend on Walaubum.
Another great battle scene is where the Marauders hit the railway at Shaduzup. The highlight being the nightmarish close quarter battle at the tank traps near the oil storage tanks. It concludes with "Stock" walking on top of the tank traps amid the horrendous piles of Japanese and American dead.
Jeff Chandler does an admirable job of playing the tough and firm Brigadier General Frank Merrill pushing his men to the limit on General Joseph Stillwell's orders. Claude Akins (Rio Bravo, The Devils Brigade, Movin' On) gives a memorable performance as Sgt. Kolowicz, Peter Brown (Lawman, Days Of Our Lives, Loving) plays the sharpshooter "Bullseye," Will Hutchins (Sugarfoot) as the bottomless pit stomach "Chowhound," Charley Briggs as "Muley" the mule handler of "Eleanor" with Filipino actor Pancho Magalona as "Taggy," and rounding out the able cast of supporting actors is Andrew Duggan as "Doc."
