Guadalcanal Diary Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 23, 2025
This film has cliche characters and a narrator-driven plot moving through all the expected scenes.
Tampa Bay Times
Dorothy Moe
Yes, it's a picture all Americans should see. It's real and it's tough and it's rough. But it'll help us at home understand just a bit better the full total of what our fighting men are doing for us overseas.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A typical, inspirational WWII Hollywood movie, a product of the times and pressures in which it was made.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
is interesting for a glimpse at the Hollywood propaganda machine of WWII if not for any other reason
