Review of Bataan

Bataan (1943)
7/10
A good one for Veteran's Day
11 November 2007
There is no big action in this film. It could easily be a play. It is, however, a great story of 13 heroic men who stood against impossible odds to do their duty. In that sense, it is a good film for Veteran's day. Most of the soldiers in WWII did not do Audie Murphy style heroics, but did their duty and hung in there to aid in the war effort. The efforts here were of extreme importance and the men died with honor.

Tough guy Robert Taylor stars, and there is a great performance by Desi Arnaz.

The crazy/heroic ending may be trite, but it was good.
