    James Franciscus, 1970. The production/ cinematography is superb. When they were still trying to make the images clearer, instead of the current trend of making every shot murky, dark, and fuzzy so they don’t have to produce good imagery. This reminds me of the early bond films in many ways.

      James Franciscus was very handsome and a pretty decent actor! In all the war movies, especially the older black and white movies, the English always threw in a snobbish remark against the American soldiers. One thing I liked is, the Americans never retaliated when they produced their war movies and Englishmen were included, which showed maturity!❤

    It's Unbelievable that a movie about the Naval battles that raged during Guadalcanal operation has Never been made. Many major battles were fought between the U.S. Navy and the IJN navy in the Solomon Islands 1942/43 Savage Nightly battles were fought trying to stop the "Tokyo Express" from resupplying the Japanese on Guadalcanal. In fact 4 U.S. Sailors died for every one Marine, during that fighting.

      Maybe because the U.S. Navy and other Allied ships did not perform too well in those battles?
      A Japanese submarine fired one salvo of 6 torpedoes in late 1942, as part of all those battles for Guadalcanal. That single salvo of 6 torpedoes:
      A. Sunk an American aircraft carrier.
      B. Sunk an American destroyer.
      C. Damaged an American battleship so badly, that it had to slowly crawl back to the U.S., to lick its wounds.

    Every time I watch an American or English war movie, I wonder why it took 6 years to defeat the Germans in World War II. Just the fact that the machine guns of the British seem to be more effective than the 2cm guns of the German fast boats. Well,
    a little fun fact for all history enthusiasts, neither the Fritz X bomb nor the HS 293 glider bomb were used before August 1943. So much for realism in this movie.

[How SLOPPY and CARELESS of the sound effects editor who includes the sound of the metal of the empty magazine hitting the hard cement
      but not metal-on-metal with the insertion / reloading.]
      Realistically, in addition to the UNLIMITED rounds of available ammo, I'll wager in a real firefight like we see here -- repeatedly -- the indiscriminate 'spraying' of a full magazine's capacity from left to right, up and down, ALL OVER -- repeatedly -- would have been replaced with wise, deliberate SHORT BURSTS of well aimed shots..

    It seems I've seen this plot B 4. A new commander for a somewhat sloppy unit that must be gotten into shape to take part in an important mission. There are some variations, of course, but one very famous version that comes to mind is Patton starring George C. Scott.

      "The Caine Mutiny" and "The Bridge on the River Kwai" are interesting variations on this theme, in which the new commander whips the sloppy unit into shape -- and renders it either dysfunctional or monstrously counterproductive.

    Many at OKH thought that any link up with the 4th panzer Armee (Panzer Gruppe 4)with Rommel’s Panzer Armee Afrika (which the Afrika Korp was a part of)in the Caucasus as fanciful at best and nearly impossible logistically…elements within OKW however thought of the possibility of just such an operation….but Der Fuhrer was more concerned with the Caucasian oil fields than any idea of such a grandiose maneuver,also by the time of the first battle of El Alamein Rommel’s Forces was at the end of its tether any chance of even reaching the Suez Canal was out of the question….
