    Of its time but still a worthy war film. Van Johnson plays Van Johnson as he does, and it’s pretty great.

    “Go for Broke!” pays tribute to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a unit made up almost entirely of Japanese American soldiers during World War II. Blending themes of prejudice with patriotic wartime messaging, the film features actual veterans in many roles, adding authenticity. While it plays as a fairly standard war drama, its historical significance gives it extra value.
