Gung Ho

Gung Ho (1943)

Dramatization of the attack on Makin by the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion.

A very young Robert Mitchum gets shot while attacking a Japanese machine gun, then later throws a knife to kill a Japanese soldier who is threatening an American medic.

Very preachy war propaganda film.

Randolph Scott is very good as the colonel.
