OKINAWA 1952 (TUBI)

I had never heard of this film before I saw it just a few days ago.

Pat O'Brien stars as Lt. Cmdr. Hale, who has taken charge of a unit in the final battle of World War 2. Richard Denning is Lt. Phillips who is second in command.

We are introduced to many characters who are on one of the main ships and even though this is a very low budget effort, it still comes across as very well done. At least in my opinion.

You really get pulled into the stories involving the men on the ship as they get closer to the final battle, and during the combat scenes, the viewer still gets pulled right in with them.

The rest of the great cast includes Cameron Mitchell, Rhys Williams, James Dobson, Alvy Moore and Rudy Robles. The film runs a very short 67 minutes, which is probably one of the shortest WW2 films I have seen except those produced and directed by Roger Corman.

If you're not too demanding, you might enjoy this little film. It never fails in the entertainment catagory.
