Movie Reviews of Merrill's Marauders
Movie Review: Merrill's Marauders An Intro to Early Special Operations
Summary: 5 Stars
Merrill's Marauders is an excellent movie covering the Army's early special operations into Burma during WWII where men did the impossible by marching 1500 miles through dense jungles, supported only by air drop supplies to take on the Japanese as America's only fighting force in the region. An action packed thriller that brings the viewer into the experience and shows the dedication and tenacity of the American figthing man. A must have for anyone's video library.Movie Review: From someone who was there.....
Summary: 5 Stars
My father was a staff sargent in MM and, when he saw the movie, said it was pretty accurate. He said the main thing that was left out was the utter brutality. Because they didn't trust the enemy soldiers that they captured (couldn't release them or send them to the rear lines) and were short on ammo, they bayonetted to death "countless" captured enemy soldiers. He said the Japanese soldiers would fight to the death and then some so - no prisoners taken.Movie Review: 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional)
Summary: 5 Stars
It was enjoyable to watch this 1962 movie about Merrill's Marauders starring Jeff Chandler and so many familiar faces from that time. This was the way Hollywood used to make movies about the American military instead of the anti-American, anti-U.S. military, leftist drivel they put out now. Highly recommended for a glimpse of a little-known fighting unit in the forgotten China-Burma-India Theatre of WW2.Movie Review: Great movie. Jeff Chandlers last movie before his death. His back was hurt in fliming movie and died of comp. from surgery.
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Movie. Lots of young stars, but now they are old or gone. Great movie history. Lots of these guys got their start in this flim. One bad part is that this was Jeff Chandlers last movie. He hurt his back while fliming this movie. And died from comp. from the surgery on his back.Very sad he was a great star.Movie Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd love to see a remake of this. This is a good movie to teach young folks what we had to fight back then.
