Marine Raiders (1944)
Director: Harold D Schuster
Starring: Pat O'Brien, Robert Ryan, Ruth Hussey
Synopsis:
A Marine captain wounded in the line of duty falls for a WAAAF, but his superior tries to keep them apart while he is transferred back to the States to train new recruits.
Impressions:
Much like all the mystery films I watch, the war movies start to blend together unless there's something really compelling to make it stick out in my mind. This one has a fairly decent if not all that compelling story. I did like some elements of the dynamic with Major Lockhart and Captain Craig, but the love story didn't do much for me. There's nothing particularly remarkable here. If you're an enthusiast for these old war movies, you may want to give it a try, but you won't be missing much if you pass on it.
