Featured review
True to the Navy
The navy must have been really desperate for men after Pearl Harbor to be prepared to enlist paunchy, middle-aged Richard Arlen with a history of desertion and problem gambling. (Maybe they should have considered his friend's big-haired, shoulder-padded little sister Jean Parker instead, since she proves herself a true daughter of Uncle Sam by immediately whipping out a gun when she takes Arlen for a burglar.)
Strictly a back-production and stock footage endeavour, it's surprisingly ruthless in killing characters off, and to describe the plot (it ends with the hero going down in a diving suit to defuse a mine, for example) makes it sound far more interesting than it is. Once again the most interesting cast members are a couple of unbilled youngsters: Bob Mitcham in a non-speaking bit pulling oars, and a typically garrulous Dub Taylor.
