Sands of Iwo Jima. 1949. USA.


John Wayne stars as a hard nosed Sergeant in the US Marines during World War II.

He trains a group of marines to fight, leading up to the Iwo Jima mission and the famous flag planting ceremony, which was later told in Eastwood's version.

This one is more a flag waving one, but had some very good performances and was a solid film.

Forrest Tucker, famous for his later role in the series F-Troop is in this as well.

John Wayne = 25/164.

My rating = 7 out of 10.
