Salute to the Marines

I've never seen this movie before, and although it was a bit more on the comical and whimsical side, it was very well done. They shot some of the scenes at what was then Marine Corps Base San Diego (now Marine Corps Recruit Depot,) and showed real Marines on parade. It really makes you wonder how many of those men survived the war. All in all, a great movie with great acting and humor.

Saw this movie when I was a kid. I looked it up on the internet about five years ago, but it was a sign-up when it became available. I looked it up last week on Amazon and sure enough they had it. It is an interesting movie, not very serious, but I only remember when the little kid brought Wallace Berry his 'dress blues Marine Jacket.' Fun to watch.

Great anti-Jap, anti-Nazi movie. As the Japs invade the Philippines, retired drill sergeant Wallace Beery finally gets his chance in combat, because he was too good of a DI, he was denied combat. Pacifists and appeasers are pushed aside as he rallies the troops at a strategic bridge. It was almost mystical seeing a patriotic movie.

A good world war two movie.

My husband wanted this movie for a long time and I was finally able to get it for him. If you are a present or former Marine you will enjoy it.

I am a Marine, and my wife saw this movie and told me I had to purchase it. We are big fans of old movies, and this was great!

I have been collecting WW2 movies for years. I had never seen or heard of this one till I saw it the other night and checked it out on Amazon. They had it and I bought it then and there. I have watched it 3 or 4 times alreadyand it is now part of my militaria WW2 dvd/VHS collection.

A very old but accurate movie. Shows you what happens when the "peaceniks" refuse to see the dangers ahead.

great
