I wish the world today was more like this movie. Great movie, thanks for the upload.
You are welcome!
In the degenerative world of today, expect to see many more comments such as yours.
Both guys became their best selves by seeing the good in each other. The younger guy learned humbleness, and since the older guy was so honest, he became humble too, probably resulting in a lifelong friendship! Great upload for teaching such great human character!❤
Great post!
❤WWII era made stateside movie. Thanks for posting ! During WWII my father RIP went from the Army enlisted ranks to OCS into the Army Air Corp. He spent 5 years of his young life in the military defending our country. He was discharged as a 1st Lt. after VE Day. Love this movie ! WOW Louise Beavers 😊God Bless America ! ❤
You're welcome! Great post!
Excellent...diligence, honour, obedience, loyalty, trust, diligence, courage, strength, forgiveness, hard work , allegiance to God and country and fellowman, are all taught here... duty without question.
We really like this film!
Top notch film. Thanks for posting it. Im a Navy vet but training is all the same, they try to rattle you. Love the guy getting a gig for spending too much time on shining his shoes. And the fellow who recites the gunnery specs in rhyme. Stuff like that really does happen in boot camp or officer's training, no matter what branch. 🇺🇸
Good post!
WHAT A GREAT MOVIE, INSPIRING WITH INSIGHT AND QUALITY AND GOOD EXAMPLE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THANK YOU.
We agree!!!
Yes, we do!❤
Really enjoyed this film, thanks for posting🙂
You're welcome!
@1:01:37~ When I was drilling in Basic in '72, it wasn't "backward march", it was "to the REAR- march!" Great flick!
It s to the rear march. Good catch.
Good movie. Thanks
You're welcome!
I can see why Tom Neal is such a hunk. a modern look to him (2023) but sad life later ,
Yup!
This is a good one
We think so!
Ward Cleaver is in the army. 😊
He sure is!
Worth the watch even if its a little predictable. The one thing that is strange is while there was a need for the OCS, falsification of documentation, regardless of the motive, is usually a career killer. Not something that you would reward even in a movie.
Good point.
Good film
A great B movie!!!
An excellent movie and whilst there was romance, one comedy scene, and plenty of military attention to detail it all moulded into a team of soldiers, just as it does since soldiers became full time military personnel, and it doesn’t matter what country you live in or what branch of service it always starts the same way, a group of individuals from hugely diverse backgrounds, that get knocked down to be melded together as a cohesive force, just as it did when I joined the British military, of course these guys were actors and supposedly NCO rank already but they portrayed the essence of being in the military very well indeed, not quite up to British military standards (in the film or actuality), despite what the narration said right at the start but it can be forgiven as this was a propaganda film after all. One thing I thought I heard was a reference to the United Nations 🇺🇳 but the United Nations was not formed until after the Second World War had ended, it was the League of Nations prior to WWII but I could have sworn I heard “United Nations”. Whatever the case I thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for sharing. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸🇺🇦
Nice post!!!
@@ClassicRobbEvelynKeyes , Thanks, I try my best to please.
The allies were sometimes called the United nations during the war, indicating their united status against the axis. I seem to recall them called that in forming the convoy in Action in the North Atlantic.
@@allandavis8201 Wow, where did you learn your humbleness 🫤☹️. The Country that couldn’t save itself, tells the country that helped saved it, your soldiers weren’t as good as ours. Gee, thanks. 👎🏼😲
Can you upload it happened in Paris 1952 evelyn keyes?
We wish! Can't find a good copy yet.
I use shaving cream but I never need a mirror.
:)
Is the Lt. Ward Cleaver?.
The Beaver's Dad?.
It sure is!
In a couple of shots e.g. at 35:35, you see black men drilling with the rest of the officer candidates.
Did that actually happen in officer training in WW2? I thought the forces were still entirely segregated at that time.
Probably segregated...
Propaganda
Her face at 1:19:21 lol
Fantastic!
Too much dialog and not enough action
Yup!
