Comments

the film extends obligingly on the love affairs from the young recruits, to undoubtedly make feel the difference between them and the soldiers in trade.
Only one scene of battle over the duration of film, all at the end.
the use of the language navajo to the radio to mislead Japanese is a topic which is exploited in more recent film: Windtalkers .
