Movie Reviews of Merrill's Marauders
Movie Review: War in Burma
Summary: 4 Stars
A well done film about the adversity American troops encountered fighting the Japanese in Burma during World War II. Jeff Chandler does an excellent job in this film about Merrill's Marauders. Scenery and color are vivid, and the battles fought are depicted very well in comparison to the actual ones. The fighting in the rail yard is memorable and dramatizes the dangers of close combat in such an environment. Some of the Filipino actors playing Japanese soldiers get a bit carried away, but not enough to spoil this must see film about World War II.Movie Review: A Relative Review
Summary: 4 Stars
I've seen this movie many times since it stated showing up on TV. The real General Frank Merrill was my grandmother's first cousin. I believe the movie to be very accurate. I wish it had shown what happened to Frank Merrill after the war. He went on to be Highway Commisioner of New Hampshire and died in 1955. He is buried at West Point and if you look directly behind his stone you will see the grave of General Stillwell, his commander during the Burma Campaign. I will be adding this movie to my collection ASAP!Movie Review: WWII action film with solid cast and good action sequences.
Summary: 4 Stars
'Merrill's Marauders' is a Sam Fuller production filmed in the Philippines for an authentic touch. Solid cast, plenty of fireworks and captures the misery and danger this outfit endured in Burma. Pretty factual and illustrates the frustration and fears of these gallant US infantrymen in the swamps of Burma. Check it out.Movie Review: A look at war in the China Burma theater of ops - WW2
Summary: 4 Stars
Movies really can't do justice to the reality of war. This
film gives you a view of the hardships and struggles the
Marauders when through to accomplish their mission (s).
They fought a thankless "make do" war with almost no support.
But they fought and won.
Movie Review: Merrill's Marauders : Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Great classic WWII action/adventure film. Actor portrayal was as real as possible and the movie viewer may actually be able to feel the sense of humanity these actors were attempting to generate. War is never worth all of the lives lost - on both sides of the fence...
