Flying Leathernecks (1951)

Major Daniel Kirby takes command of a squadron of Marine fliers just before they are about to go into combat. While the men are well meaning, he finds them undisciplined and prone to always finding excuses to do what is easy rather than what is necessary. The root of the problem is the second in command, Capt. Carl 'Griff' Griffin. Griff is the best flier in the group but Kirby finds him a poor commander who is not prepared to make the difficult decision that all commanders have to make - to put men in harm's way knowing that they may be killed.

Fine war drama, but not extraordinary in any way. John Wayne gives his usual adequate performance. Robert Ryan does well. Pretty routine stuff and it is predictable. Good production values.

1943: Marine Corp. Major Kirby leads his squadron of Wildcat Fighters into the Battle of Guadalcanal where he seeks to prove his theories on the effectivness of Close Air Support. Seen as harsh and unfeeling Kirby clashes with his XO who feels Kirby is too callouse. After being relieved the squadron is equipped with the new Corsair Fighter and sent back into action during the Battle of Okinawa where Kirby's vision will suceed in creating a new style of war or be regulated to history. Classic John Wayne war film with strong support from Robert Ryan and a memorable and colorful Jay C. Flippen as a Sgt. with a knack for "aquiring" items for the squadron. Won't win any converts for the Duke, but if your a Wayne fan you'll enjpy this.

If it weren't for Nicholas Ray, this film would fall flat on the fatness of its chauvinism. But with Ray, despite the outdatedness of its social views (like John Wayne's wife retreating to a back room to escape her husband's admonishments for showing her emotion) and the tired jingoism that creeps up throughout, Ray makes an exciting film full of dashing color that does not distract from the urgency of the moment, something Ray seems to hone in on with deft alacrity and uncompromising temerity with the camera.

Pure WWII jingo and John Wayne. But stylish and heroic nonetheless.
