Sands of Iwo Jima

Released: 1949
Director: Allan Dwan
Staring: John Wayne, John Agar, Adele Mara, Forrest Tucker

John Wayne's old studio home, Republic, made this 1949 drama about the heroic capture of an important island in the Pacific by marines in World War II.

Director Allan Dwan (Brewster's Millions), a pioneering filmmaker from the silent days of cinema who easily crossed over into sound, handles the action sequences like a consummate pro, while Wayne works hard as the tough sergeant molding new recruits into fighters.

John Agar plays a contentious surrogate son to Wayne, though the relationship is hardly the stuff of Red River. © Amazon.com
