Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Pride of the Marines (1945)

I quite enjoyed the first half-hour which was, essentially, the story of a short courtship. The rest of it was pretty "eh." Guy goes to war for a couple of weeks, gets a grenade in the face and has a hard time accepting his new life. Done with more humanity and less propaganda in 1950's The Men.
