The Fighting Seabees (Blu-ray)

Director Edward Ludwig (WAKE OF THE RED WITCH) and his star John Wayne (BIG JIM MCLAIN) teamed up for the first time in this sprawling, action-packed saga with Wayne as the head of a construction company building military sites for the Navy during World War II. After suffering the loss of many men after a Japanese attack, Wayne heads to Washington and helps establish the quot;C.B.'squot; (Construction Battalions), units of armed builders. THE FIGHTING SEABEES offers an entertaining combination of strong supporting performances by Dennis OKeefe (T-MEN), William Frawley (TVs I LOVE LUCY and MY THREE SONS) and ravishing soon-to-be-superstar Susan Hayward (I WANT TO LIVE!) with exciting big budget action sequences that turned this war and romance saga into a box office bonanza.
