**What do you like, love? I happen admire James Cagney. I was especially interested in James Cagney and what he did with the part. **What do you dislike about it? The writing of the film wasn't as good as it could have been, but the cast was good. James Cagney deserved a better script, but he did a good job with what he was given. It has a good cast, but it the writers don't use the actors to their peak ability. Lack of continuity is also evident, but if one does not look too hard at the script, it is interesting to see how good actors handle a poor script, even if it cannot be saved. There are moments in the film. **Why did you decide to buy it? It was a James Cagney film that was not a copy from China. It was a genuine US picture that could be bought in the USA.

A "classic" directed by the great John Ford (1952). This is really a character study about "Captain Flagg, USMC" superbly played by James Cagney. Flagg is a career Marine Officer, who cleverly deals with every barracks situation, including Generals, romances, local French politicians, arranging marriages, coping with drunken sprees, as well as heroically leading young Marines in World War I combat. This may have been the origin of the later, strictly comic television show about Marine life, "Gomer Pyle, USMC." Above all, the diminutive Cagney must compete with his career-long adversary, and physically gigantic 1st Sergeant Quirt, (Dan Dealey) for the love of a fickle French barmaid, Charmaine (Corinne Calvet). Secretly, neither Marine wants permanent romantic involvement (their hearts and lives belong to 'the Corps") and Charmaine can't choose between either leading man. Very entertaining!Read full review
