...Most vivid, terrible scene I ever witnessed. Such peaks! Dug through worst jungle yet. . . . If I don't die tonite, I may push on along shore a way tomorrow-I don't know...
...leading roles in the film are played by Hitler, Mussolini, the Japanese Army, and a series of statesmen ranging from an apologizing Tokyo of 1931 to an aroused Roosevelt of December 8, 1941.

The result is a first-class failure to film the most difficult of all actions-a battle-but a brave attempt to make a record-quick, jerky, vivid, fragmentary, luminous-of a moment of desperate peril to the nation...
