This fact-based WW 2 drama earned several Oscar nominations, but took home only one--best director. This is the story of a small group of US Marines and civilian construction workers and their struggle for survival after the Japanese attacks that caused the USA to enter the war in December of 1941. The vastly outnumbered Americans held off a major Japanese invasion for two weeks until finally being overwhelmed. Brian Donlevy, William Bendix, Robert Preston, MacDonald Carey and Albert Dekker head the cast in this memorable and patriotic production.
