John Wayne's acting is very good in this movie, especially considering it is one of his earlier ones. It's not one of the best WWII movies, but it tells the story of how the Seabees became a fighting, military unit, which makes it worthwhile. It features several of the good character actors of its day, and some of the lines are quite funny. The ending is surprising. Overall, this is an entertaining movie, and much better than the fastasy fare offered today.

The formation of the Seabees is chronicled here in somewhat meticulous detail when it is not overshadowed by John Wayne. The movie was made at Republic, a "B" studio with top actors, Wayne, Susan Hayward, Dennis O'Keefe and a wonderful supporting cast. Hayward is mainly wasted as the triangular love interest with Wayne and O'Keefe, but she does have a memorable scene with Wayne after being shot by the Japanese. This is a typical war film for it's time to invoke patriotism without detail to accuracy and fares as well as many of it's era thanks to the strong cast which manage to overcome a somewhat wobbly script.
John Wayne is always great to watch.

This movie is another must have for any John Wayne fan. John Wayne is a project (civil) engineer, who owns a successful company that has contracted its services to the U.S. Navy during World War II. After several attempts to remain a sole-contractor working for the Navy Department, Wayne finally concedes to joining forces and creating a special task-force called "THE FIGHTING SEABEES". This is an excellent movie to add to any collection.
This is one of the FEW John Wayne movies my wife did not have. This one is especially close to her heart as she is a SeaBee. Normally, you can only find this movie in the Seabee Museum at Port Hueneme, CA. She's looked high and low for it, and has been grousing about it for some time now. Imagine the look on her face when she found it in her Christmas stocking! Priceless....
