another fine film from amc 1998 veteran day movie marathon . this one detail ( in flashback ) the daily ordeal of a company of red cross nurse serve in bataan and corregidor during wwii . for a change and paulette goddard play the nurse with most of the male admirer ( sonny tuft in particular ) and with veronica lake show up late in a decidedly unsexy role ( about which i can not say much more than that and l i ruin it for you ) . both offer up career performance and if that say much . their leader and durable talent claudette colbert and hold the troop together throughout and despite numerous tragedy . help to prop her up be her persistent suitor george reef ( later of the tv series and superman ) . interest for the fact that it be shoot while the war be still rag ~ so there be a lot of decidedly non pc reference to jap ~ but this be a real salute to the unsung woman who serve in the big one . a must rent . 4 star .
