They Were Expendable [Blu-ray]
Description
Supplies are dwindling. Troops are hopelessly outnumbered. But even in defeat
there is victory. The defenders of the Philippines — including PT-boat
skippers John Brickley (Robert Montgomery) and Rusty Ryan (John Wayne) — will
give the U.S. war effort time to regroup after the devastation of Pearl
Harbor. Director John Ford’s World War II tale knows its battle-scarred topic
firsthand. Montgomery was himself a Pacific PT-boat commander and a valorous
Bronze Star recipient. Ford filmed the Academy Award-winning documentary The
Battle of Midway. And Wayne creates a portrait of patriotic resolve as only he
can. They Were Expendable salutes all who expended themselves during some of
the war’s bleakest hours.
