Halls of Montezuma (1951)
Director: Lewis Milestone
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Rough, tough US Marines hunt down a Japanese rocket base in the Pacific Basin in this standard guts-or-glory WWII flagwaver. Capably put together by Milestone, who cut in real combat footage with the mock-up set-pieces shot in the US at Camp Pendleton, but it's hard to believe this is the same man who 21 years earlier made the landmark anti-war movie All Quiet on the Western Front.Author: TJ
