Editorial Reviews

Flying Leathernecks (DVD) (Commemorative Amaray)

John Wayne is a no-nonsense WWII squadron leader whose unforgiving style clashes with that of his fellow officer, Robert Ryan. But when called into action over Guadalcanal, he bravely leads his men to victory and earns the respect of all. Featuring Academy Award-winner Wayne ("Stagecoach," "True Grit," "The Searchers"), Oscar-nominee Robert Rya("Crossfire," "The Wild Bunch," "Bad Day at Black Rock") and Jay C. Flippin ("Cat Ballou"). Directed by Oscar-nominee Nicholas Ray ("Rebel Without a Cause"). Outstanding aerial combat footage.

What it takes from and gives to men for war

ByHUGH J. RITCHIEon July 2, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I was a carrier fighter pilot in ww2 and flew both Grumman Hellcats and F4u Corsairs. Enough said. Don't often find
them flying in the movies especially both aircraft. I would like to purchase 4 more copies. Can you arrange that?

The camera work was fantastic as it took me right back into the cockpit. I'm a former Canadian Naval Officer on loan
to the Royal Navy at the time and few off British carriers where these two aircraft came by Lend Lease from the US. The Corsair was the fastest low level attack plane in the war which made it ideal in it's job for the US and Royal Marines backing up the Army on the ground as alluded to in the DVD.

A great Movie.

One of 10 best war movies ever

ByProfessor Emeritus P. BagnoloVINE VOICEon June 13, 2007

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

THEY WERE EXPENDABLE
Maybe because I was just a little kid, and the war was still raging, (1945) but nearing an end. Maybe it was partially because my grandfather took me to see this movie as he took me to see other movies every Saturday, and maybe it was because my Polio was gone and I could walk and run again, but mostly because my uncle was the skipper of a PT boat and knew JFK. Great Direction by John Ford, with his regular crew plus Robert Montgomery, (John Wayne, Donna Reed, Ward Bond) and many other great stars gave outstanding performances in an authentic, tropic ambiance displayed convincingly, though in Black and white.

The missions, struggles, disappointments, amiable characters just doing a very tough, under-appreciated job in plywood PT boat's which the navy and marines didn't entirely trust.

The secondary question was; would Monty and The Duke bring home a winner, or switch to submarines?

This is a short intro of the coming of age of a PT boat fleet, the hopelessness that hung like a black cloud of Damocles just above the heads of the officers and grunts in what then seemed a losing effort, but one in which they kept grinding on with the stiff-upper lip, hard bitten, toughness of ordinary men and women doing extraordinary things.

At this point in the war, the US was not yet winning, and beneath the surface the fighting men and women worried, more about whose fate was unknown than themselves. The milieu and attitudes of the characters gave one a feeling of what it really must have been like in those dark times. When my uncle came back from action a year later, he said it was one of his favorite war films-authentic and revealing.

FLYING LEATHERNECKS
The second film, made in 1951, which was filmed in Technicolor, Flying Leather Necks, directed by Nicolas Ray and starring Wayne, Robert Ryan and an excellent supporting cast, was a typical fighter pilot film, well done, filled with the conflicts, misunderstandings, emotional struggles with tensions of death and mistakes and orders which are hard to follow at times. A good film but less of a classic than the Black and white above. Besides all of that, one Great film, one good film and a terrific price. By the way, this movie borrows just a bit of its plot from a 1938 Howard Hawks directed, Errol Flynn, vehicle: Dawn Patrol. The rankling relationship of Wayne with Robert Ryan, is almost parallel to Flynn's relationship to his commanding officer, Basil Rathbone. Except in this film, the roles are reversed. Here, the leading man, Wayne is the commander, and Ryan his second in command. However, in Dawn Patrol, the underling, Flynn is the leading man and co-star Rathbone his commander.

loved it. This is a basic war pic that is a "staple to me". I am a veteran and when I am feeling nostalgic I watch this.
