The Fighting Seabees (1944)
John Wayne and Dennis O’Keefe butt heads in The Fighting Seabees, and not just over military strategy. This WW2 war movie is also a love triangle, as both men fight over the beautiful and smart Susan Hayward. I thought the romance was the most interesting part of the movie, but unfortunately for me, the war scenes were more frequent. However, if you’re looking for a straight war movie, you’ll probably think the romantic scenes are the unnecessary ones!
The film was made during WW2, and it was mostly a pro-American propaganda film to boost morale and ensure the folks at home, “Have no fear, we’ll lick this thing!” The Duke is the head of a construction company building in the South Pacific. When the Japanese invade, the “fighting” Seabees must come together and protect the island. If you’re a John Wayne fan, which I am not, you probably won’t find any problem with this one. If you’re looking for a young Susan Hayward flick, rent Adam Had Four Sons instead.
