Sands of Iwo Jima [DVD]

I just love the fil John Wayne great

I mainly like John Wayne in westerns and favourites include 'The Shootist', 'Rio Bravo' and 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence'. Two of his war films are also in my favourites, 'In Harms way' and this film 'The Sands of Iwa Jima'. Theres no denieing the film is old now, but it certainly stands the test of time due to great performances and a combination of real war time footage edited into the film throughout as well as believable sets and landscapes. John Wayne plays his part especially tough as he trains his troops for combat. The film sits comfortably with another great war film that featured Wayne, 'The Longest day'.

This black and white full screen film has John Wayne as a battle hardened veteran training new recruits for the forthcoming campaigns against the Japanese. Whilst appearing hard as nails he does have a hidden heart of gold as he brings them up to speed on what can be expected finishing with the battle for Iwo Jima.

with the lock down in place my husband has to find other things to do, well one of these is watching old war films or any thing to do with fighting, I dont mind I have my hobbies, and it keeps hubby happy

Perhaps THE iconic movie of the World War ll Marine Corps! Made largely at Camp Pendleton with active Marine assistance and equipment.Supposedly the first recording of "Lock and Load!" John Wayne earned an OSCAR as the incomoarable Sgt. John M. Stryker.
