    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Maureen O'Haras' first film in Technicolor. She looked so good in it that she later earned the nickname "Queen of Technicolor".
    • Goofs
      In several instances Chris Winters (John Payne) and Sgt. Smith (Randolph Scott) are shown flicking lit cigarettes away, or grinding them into the ground. This would never be allowed as Marines were taught to field strip cigarettes, spreading the ashes and tobacco and rolling the paper into a tiny ball.

      • Corporal: Good morning, Sergeant. You're up kind of early.
      • Sgt. Dixie Smith: Yeah, I'm expecting a guest.
      • Corporal: Don't tell me Cagney's coming down here to glorify the Marines again.
