"Gung Ho!" powerfully recreates an American military unit’s attack on a Japanese-held island at the start of World War II. The film was initially crafted to stir the confidence of the American public at the start of WWII. Today it stands as a thrilling (if very jingoistic and propagandistic) war thriller, with strong performances and exciting battle scenes. The cast includes Randolph Scott as the driven unit commander, and a young, already-cool Robert Mitchum.
