The TCM page for “Bataan” has a link to some movie posters but the posters are for 1945’s “Back to Bataan” – not this movie. This is the Robert Walker’s first credited screen role. Desi Arnaz is “convincing” as a soldier. Netflix has “Bataan” on DVD, but with a “very long wait.” It didn’t arrive in time for me to preview it but I recall watching it on TCM several years ago. My recollection is that Crowther has it about right. OK, but not great.

Just think, if you went to the Paramount theater you got a movie and Frank Sinatra live, too!
