The Gallant Hours-
An underated movie about William F. "Bull" Halsey. The Battle in the Pacific, specifically Guadalcanal. (My Dad fought in that Theatre during WWII.) Underwent Airborne training on Japan as/during "Occupation Forces," duty immediately following the war. I have a huge photo album of his training, and his Buddies. [As an aside he was at Bikini Atoll and the various other Nuclear tests done in that area at that time. Went from there to Alamagordo/White Sands and was present for the subsequent tests.]
1960. James Cagney, Dennis Weaver, Ward Costello.
A very good movie if you have not seen it.
