Flying Leathernecks
Original Theatrical Date: August 28, 1951
It's World War II and a no-nonsense WWII squadron leader, Major Dan Kirby (John Wayne) is hard on his marines and his unforgiving style clashes with that of his fellow officer, Captain Carl Griffin (Robert Ryan). But will Kirby prove that there is a method to his madness after all?
Directed by Oscar-nominee Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause), Flying Leathernecks features outstanding performances and outstanding aerial combat footage.
