      The first half of the film looks like an absurd slapstick, but at the bottom of the black humor, it deeply reflects the war-weariness of people in the later period of the...

      Behind the black humor is the love of comrades-in-arms in the army, especially when Fang Dabie is on the medal made by the sailors. . . The only flaw for me is that I felt prematurely that Mr. Roberts played by Fonda would die for the war, so the final outcome did not shock me. The rivalry between Cagney and Fonda is...

    Movie plot

    The background of the story is that during the World War II period, a US Navy cargo ship was traveling in the South Pacific. Fonda played the role of a dedicated officer Roberts, hoping to leave this quiet ship to the front line. But the captain is a man with a small belly, who takes the whole person for fun, and will not sign Roberts' application request in any case. In addition, there is a small soldier named Pulver on the ship, who...

    Movie quotes

    • Doc: That's mostly what makes physical heroism - opportunity. It's a reflex. I think that seventy-five out of a hundred young males have that reflex. You take any one of them. Say even Frank Thurlowe Pulver, here. Put him into a B-29 over Japan, and you know what you'd have?

      Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: No I don't, Doctor.

      Doc: You'd have Pulver, the Congressional Medal of Honor winner. Pulver, who single-handed shot down twenty-three attacking Zeros. Pulver who, with his bare hands, held together the severed wing struts of his plane, and with his bare feet successfully landed his mortally wounded plane on his home field. Reflex. It's like the knee jerk. Strike the patella tendon in any human being, you produce the knee jerk. Look.

      [Doc hits Pulver in the knee and nothing happens]

      Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: What's the matter, Doc?

      Doc: Nothing, but stay out of B-29s, Frank, my boy.

    • Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: Captain, you told me...

      The Captain: Never mind what I told you. *I'm telling you!*

    • Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: Doc, he lies in his sack all day long, bores me silly with great, moronic plots against the captain. He's never carried out one of them.

      Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: I haven't, huh?

      Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: No, Frank, you haven't. What ever happened to those marbles you were gonna put in the captain's overhead so they'd roll around all night and keep him awake?

      Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: Now you've gone too far. Now you've asked for it.

      [pulls out a box]

      Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: What does that look like? Five marbles. Got another one in my pocket. Six marbles. I'm looking for marbles all day long!
