SANDS OF IWO JIMA (1949)
“Haunted by personal demons, Marine Sgt. John Stryker is hated and feared by his men, who see him as a cold-hearted sadist. But when their boots hit the beaches, they begin to understand the reason for Stryker’s rigid form of discipline.” This is solid. I don’t think the non combat stuff is as good and doesn’t fit John Wayne’s acting window, but the war scenes look amazing, even in black and white 4K. Worth it for that alone. Rented on Prime.
