There were a number of movies made in the 30s and 40s to take advantage of the popularity of top rated radio programs like Duffy's Tavern.
I am a fan of old time radio particularly just before during an after the Second World War and have watched a number of these type of movies like, the great Gildersleeve, fibber McGee and Molly and Lum n Abner lol... be warned these movies are usually not that good... Short on plot and are really just created for the fan base to see the faces behind the voices they've come to know over the years. And for today'sold Time radio fans it's just as fun as it was in the late 30s and 40s.

I can't believe I haven't seen this movie until recently highly recommend it!... I am an old movie fan and been obsessed with the second world war for decades. I thought I've seen all the great World War II movies but I was mistaken. I happen to bump into this on the Tubi app and couldn't believe I had not even heard of it.
There are a number of reasons why I like this movie. But to keep this review short I'm not going to go into great detail.
Whoever directed this did a phenomenal job I love the semi documentary style. The way the narrator will break in as people enter the story and recount what will happen to them In the future...I particularly like how the movie began with Halsey and a long time aid on a naval ship its his retirement day, in August 1945. They are having this poignant conversation about all they've been through and this reminiscing starts the flashback to the very early days of the war. They end up telling what I feel is one of the best arm forces victory stories to come out of the second world war to which I was ignorant of the details until watching this movie. Its the story of how Bull Halsey turned the tide in the Pacific at Guadalcanal.
This might be the best thing about the movie... the details of a story I was not aware of until I saw this movie. That plus an opportunity to get to know one of America's greatest military commanders. Who also happens to be an exemplary exemplary human being. a must watch for anyone an interest in the second world war, war movies in general,
