Years ago in the mid to late 1950s there was a TV program called "million dollar movies" in New York area. I remember seeing this movie then. It was intriguing and I think still is. Thanks.
This series began in NYC/Secaucus, on local station WOR-TV channel 9, in 1955, and ran a little more than 3 decades on that station, ending as a WWOR show in 1988. It featured top-tier movies, where each feature would run for an entire week, airing twice nightly. This format, that simulated the local neighborhood movie house, was also adopted by other local stations, realizing that this was one way to reach the most viewers, considering the competition from the networks. The first 3 features were "Magic Town" staring James Stewart, "Body And SouL" staring John Garfield", and "A Double Life"staring Ronald Coleman. Much of the 1930s and 40s library from RKO were featured. As the station was a subsidiary of "RKO General Tire", many of those films were rental free, to the station. Those RKO films included "King Kong","Gunga Din","Citizen Kane" and the "Fred Astaire"- "Ginger Rogers" RKO musicals. In the summer of 1957, a few of those RKO films such as "King Kong" and "Top Hat" were aired, one time only, on ABC Network TV, on Saturday nights, after which they returned to be rerun on "Million Dollar Movie".
Roger that ! I was enlisted with an Army division -the 38th Infantry Division - 1882-88. My Dad served with the 38th during the '60s and my Grandpa was in the 38th during WW2. The 38th-"Cyclone" Division fought in hard combat in the Pacific during WW2, including helping to free the Philippines.
It may have been a terrific movie. However, with all the inconsistencies and errors, I wouldn't know because I could take no more than 14 minutes of it. The only thing this had in common with the USMC was their belt buckles. Add to that, whether US Army or US Marine Corps, NEVER would a Captain be in a position to interrogate or question a Major. That's when I searched for something more authentic to watch. Btw...Truman did not sign Executive Order 9981, which integrated the US Military, until July 26, 1948, almost three years after WWII ended. Molon Labe...Semper Fi
@@usmc3547 Fair enough, but I believe you missed the entire point of the film (tho how I’ve no idea). It’s not about the proper buckles or insignia. And it may surprise you, but when a Major and a Captain, who happens to be a doctor, interact on a medical matter then it doesn’t really matter what rank the soldier (Major) has - he/she has to defer to the Doctor!
Biak 1944. A nightmare hybrid of Peleliu, Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester & Iwo Jima. It was taken by the US Army who didn't think themselves as Marines. With all due respect to the USMC.
Army recon units sometimes acquired Marine camouflage helmet covers. Great movie. Saw it on TV when I was a kid. It was the first time I became aware of racial prejudice.
Un buen filme del género bélico en resaltar los problemas raciales del la época debían los hombres apartar para poder llevar sus misiones en ese conflicto global. Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
Ótimo filme!!!.🇧🇷 Quando a Força Expedicionária Brasileira, desembarcou na Itália,os Americanos ficaram de boca aberta.Brancos e negros,lutando juntos.
Paralyzed African-American veteran Peter Moss (James Edwards) is undergoing psychoanalysis after suffering a nervous breakdown. As Moss recounts his trauma to an army psychiatrist (Jeff Corey), he reveals countless examples of the everyday racism he experienced as a civilian. Moss also discusses an intense mission he went on during World War II. Although he is psychically damaged, his doctor believes Moss can walk again if he can figure out a way to let go of his emotional wounds. Release date: May 12, 1949 (USA)
The opening scene, finding out one of them was Black was informative. And accurate. White guys in the Army could have been told the other brave men would be night-fighters. US citizens were becoming more fully integrated until the OBAMANATION of the country.
Fighting and yelling over race on a almost suicidal covert mission with a cigarette hanging out his mouth on a Japanese held island with 15,000 Japanese is not believable, but that’s why they call it entertainment
Really enjoyed the movie I made friends with several minorities during my time in the Navy. One Hispanic buddy hated me at first til we duked it out one day over something trivial but he was surprised I didn’t call him names other than *%#-hole we became friends after.
If you read the Credits, it says: Based on a 1946 play by Arthur Laurents. It was directed by Mark Robson, and stars Douglas Dick, Jeff Corey, Lloyd Bridges, Frank Lovejoy, James Edwards, and Steve Brodie. The original play featured the protagonist being Jewish, rather than black. First released in theaters on May 12, 1949.
Wow, I don't think I can last through all this bs. Yes, I know it's just a movie, but after reading all these positive comments you people make it sound like it's true to life, first, a Captain doesn't tell a Major what to do, and second, that guy is a PV2, not a Corporal. I'll give it a few more minutes but I'm not expecting greatness.
A psychological war movie...excelllent...true to life experience of a soldier in war
I was born in 1949. That makes this one of the best.

From Brooklyn here. I remember the Million-dollar movies. If I remember right. Didn't they show the same movie all week long. Monday through Friday.

I hadn't thought of the MDM in 50 years so I looked it up.
What a great movie. It has been so many years since I first saw it.
This movie has a lot of heart. Great movie
They are not marines..they a US ARMY recon outfit...NOT marines..marines were not the only ones fighting in the pacific.

That's because their commander was Douglas MacArthur.

With all due respect to the USMC.
That was great! Thank you for posting. ❤🇦🇺
Great movie thanks for having it.
Got glued on the screen watching a non-action war movie. One of the bests!
Grew up watching this movie. Haven't seen it in years. Good to see it again.
Army recon units sometimes acquired Marine camouflage helmet covers. Great movie. Saw it on TV when I was a kid. It was the first time I became aware of racial prejudice.
Sgt Saunders wore a Marine helmet cover in Combat!
@@randytaylor1258 No, he wore a cover made from camouflage parachute material. It was rare, but photos show it being done.
No matter what branch of service they were all brave men,some just boys but still men ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊
Great job
Thx for the HD! 👍🇺🇸👍
Merci pour le film 😊
Very fine movie!

"Home Of The Brave" (1949) - WW2 U.S. Marine Corps War Action Movie
MISTAKE....THIS IS A MOVIE ABOUT THE ARMY
Great movie
1949 - and they were dealing with racism and social issues back then.
These are not problems of just today.
Very good film.
title put up is Marine Corp but movie shows army.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to volunteer !!!
Great movie 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Where do I reenlist?
Great stock footage.
When they send the army to do a job and they tell them they have to take the hill they just take it and they don’t ever give it back
there is another movie thats similar called blood and steel without the ptsd .
What gets me is on all paperwork we fill out they ask what race. But there is never , never the option to mark Human reptile or insect
this movie needs jeffrey hunter
Please reupload ripley beliebe it or not!
best WW2 japanese movie made around the WW2 era is OBJECTIVE BURMA!
A thriller and full of suspense. The hut scene where the second group got ambushed was difficult.
@jimwoo9552 where are ya joe.....

Hey Ho! Guess what, this same scene played out OFTEN in the Viet Nam war- this writer was there and knows
@@harriettanthony7352 Yeah, and you can find their names on wall at the Viet-Nam war memorial in Washington D.C.
Really enjoyed the movie I made friends with several minorities during my time in the Navy. One Hispanic buddy hated me at first til we duked it out one day over something trivial but he was surprised I didn’t call him names other than *%#-hole we became friends after.
Gracias una vez más por hacernos disfrutar del cine de la segunda guerra mundial
Y did they post this as 1949 when it ended in 1945?

How did this drivel get out of Hollywood
Nothing but a White guilt propaganda movie. >CLICK!
There's a lot of guilt to be had.
@@garyc1221 LOL! Maybe for you, liberal, but not for me! I have zero guilt! I don't buy into that liberal BS!
Voting trump I assume.
@@aussiedave1248 HA! And you're voting Harris, do doubt.
Unfortunately, they deleted my first reply to your empty virtue signaling post.
What is there to be guilty about?
