Supposedly based on a true incident, over-the-top patriotism made it a Hollywood blockbuster of the war era, despite a pretty fake-looking jungle. Avoid the colorized version. [More]

Reviews for Bataan
Since it was basically a tale of defeat, the nervous producers emphasized heroism, but later, under criticism of fabricating the facts with mechanically packed incidents, MGM was forced to acknowledge "some melodramatic flaws and technical mistakes."
An exciting flagwaving big box office Alamo-esque suicide mission World War II film.
MGM and the War Department teamed for this flag waving combat drama that influenced a number of future war movies.
