[Milsurplus] The Gallant Hours

[Ben Dover]

"Gallant Hours" is a pretty decent movie, but fair warning; the
music SUCKS!!!  It's intrusive and irritating. 

Cagney puts in a decent performance as "Bull" Halsey.

If I remember correctly, Mitchum isn't in it.

However...   watch for Dennis Weaver as Halsey's aide, and as a
dive bomber pilot. He put in a decent preformance too.

Also, watch for William Schallert as Tom Lanphier, the Army P-38
jock who got Yamamoto.
