Guadalcanal Diary

In this episode, Dave and James discuss the 1943 World War II war film Guadalcanal Diary, directed by Lewis Seiler. The film is based on the book of the same name by Richard Tregaskis. The film recounts the fight of the United States Marines in the Guadalcanal Campaign, which occurred only a year before the movie’s release. While the film has notable battle scenes, its primary focus is on the characters and back stories of the Marines.
