Very good. A classic naval movie.

T/FB: 2022 movie #130. 1965. John Wayne commands a Navy fleet into battle with the Japanese in the Pacific. Pretty good war movie. One of the last big feature b/w films and it has an enormous cast of people you know. ( )

They both get a shot at redemption with a mission to capture a strategically located island. Patricia Neal, Tom Tyron, Paula Prentiss, and Henry Fonda co-star. 167 min.
