1.0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Good Film Stock, September 13, 1999
By Scott Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Released by Universal in 1943, "Don Winslow of the Coast Guard" remains among the dullest, laziest serials ever made. The filmmakers sit back and let the World War II stock footage do all the work - thus saving the studio a fortune. As a result, the characters and cliffhanging situations are decidedly boring. To quote Groucho Marx, "That's what they call a waste of film."

1.0 out of 5 stars Stock-Footage Supreme, September 13, 1999
By A Customer
"Don Winslow of the Coast Guard" is one of the dullest, laziest serials I have ever seen. The filmmakers just sit back and let the World War II stock footage do all the work -- which must have saved the producers a fortune. The characters are uninteresting and the cliffhanging situations decidedly boring. Enough said.

5.0 out of 5 stars An adventure of the second world war, May 28, 2002
By C. Clark "cclark9590" (New England, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An adventurous and true life story of espionage of the second world war.
The finesse of the talent in this film is superb. The character of the nurse, played by Elyse Knox with a purity and style. She had attended the Traphagen School of Fashion in Manhatten and is a talented portraitist and realist and went on to work as a designer for Vogue were she would sit in on photo sessions when models failed to report for work. Subsequently, one of her fashions photographs was seen by someone in Hollywood and invited her there. She and her mother made the long train ride out west, and she made three dozen movies including this one, "Don Winslow of the Coast Guard." She had met her future husband, Tom Harmon, at the Bing Crosby radio show. He had just graduated from University of Michigan, and gone of to war earning both the Purple Heart and Silver Star. Returning home they married and Tom worked as a sports broadcaster. They're family reminds me of my own family, and she strongly resembles my paternal grandmother whom passed away before I was born.
This is a perfect movie for all ages, and especially for school children learning about the second world war in the Pacific. With it's many depths and complexities with that freedom is not free; those magic words of: duty, honor, and country will always prevail.

This is one of the few video "dramas" about the US Coast Guard. Not the best acting or plot but for a Coastie it is great stuff.
