i have a collection of war movies and last week i came across BATAAN and omg i don't want to badly judge the film....but it didn't completely amazed me. the dialogue was infantile.....Robert Taylor was wooden except for the very last of the movie. its rare that in a film i feel don't feel sympathy and sadness for a character.....in BATAAN...just didn't have feelings for any of them. the cinematography is fair but was was all this fog about and the rocks and boulders in some scenes seemed like they were chisel-ed and meticulously placed on right spot. Na i hate criticizing a war film but this one didn't capture my heart. still a 7 is not bad for......Robert walker writing to his mom....Desi arnaz overjoyed to hear tommy Dorsey and first scene of Japanese attack. I'm relieved though.......my favourite film SO PROUDLY WE HAIL 1943.......got more stars. oh i forgot good actor thomas mitchell not a role for him at all.
