Marines, Let's Go

While in Tokyo, one of the marines and his wife visit the Temple of The Golden Pavillion, which is actually in Kyoto.

Geez, this thing was awful. The acting was horrid.

I enjoyed this film. The weakest aspect was the acting.

I rated this a 5 overall. The first 1/2 of the movie is a 2 and the last 1/2 a 5 so I settled on a 3 overall because of the fact I am IN it!

This 1961 movie about marines during the Korean War turns up on the Fox Movie Channel several times a year. It has excellent color and was directed by Raoul Walsh.

The script was bad and the acting was bad. It was supposed to be a comedy but it wasn't funny -- I would call it verbal slapstick, juvenile.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Marines Let's Go is a film about a group of leathernecks on leave in occupied Japan just before the outbreak of the Korean War. It's the usual hijinks you find in service comedies.

Joebat23 was overly kind in his grading of this movie, it is absolutely terrible. The plot couldn't even be called sophomoric, the acting was atrocious and the reasoning of the characters was juvenile.
