The greatest star of the screen!
It was a best-seller... a Reader's Digest classic ... a Book of the Month. And now it's The Picture Of The Year.
•k -k ~k -k
It's W. L. White's "They Were Expendable"—carved out of some of the most dramatic events of all time.
This is M-G-M's heart-stinging story of some of the most heroic headlines of recent years.
★ ★ * ★
The story of "Brick", who loved a boat; of "Rusty", who loved a girl.
* * ★ ★
Robert Montgomery (back on the screen after his war-years with Uncle Sam's Navy) is magnificent as "Brick", who'd rather command a PT-boat than a battleship. The part's a natural for the star who was skipper on a PT-boat when they were shooting for keeps.
* * ★ ★
John Wayne is "Rusty", who scoffs at the "sea-going mousetraps". But that was before the fighting started !
★ ★ ★ ★
There's a tremendous thrill in watching those suicidal "sea-scooters" in action! The thrill of battle, of terrible peril. And a surge of pride that will quicken the beat of your heart.
There's a thrill, too, in the romance between the hard-bitten PT-boat Commander and the Army nurse. Lovely Donna Reed makes a perfect "Sandy", dungareed angel of mercy who tends wounds and steals hearts.
★ ★ ★ ★
There's a gripping sense of realism in "They Were Expendable"— evidence of the directorial deftness of Captain John Ford, U.S.N.R., the expert screen play of Comdr. Frank Wead, U.S.N. (Ret.), the excellence of the action photography. Cliff Reid is associate producer.
★ ★ ★ ★
Jack Holt, Ward Bond and a consummate cast back up the stars with stellar performances.
★ ★ * The screen can offer no greater thrill than this story of gallant men and women who never expected to return. "They Were Expendable."

We salute them. — Jlea
