Battle Cry

James Whitmore as Mac continues narrating as the squad arrives San Diego for training, introducing Wellman (Carleton Young), Ziltch (Tommy Cook) and especially top billed Van Heflin as Maj. Huxley, in producer-director Raoul Walsh’s hit Battle Cry, 1955.

On a weekend leave on the Coronado Ferry from San Diego, bookish Marine recruit Marion (John Lupton) shows perhaps less than average enthusiasm when approached by local Rae (Anne Francis, her first scene), in the hit WWII home-front and combat hybrid Battle Cry, 1955.

James Whitmore who will appear as Marine Sgt. “Mac” narrates, as we meet several main characters, Tab Hunter as Danny, Mona Freeman his girl, William Campbell as “Ski,” then others including Fess Parker, Felix Noriego, Tab Hunter and Aldo Ray, opening the war-melodrama Battle Cry, 1955.

Having gotten smashed on a weekend pass in San Diego, ingenuous and engaged Marine recruit Danny (Tab Hunter) meets USO volunteer Mrs. Yarborough (Dorothy Malone, bespectacled as in The Big Sleep, 1946), in the WWII soaper Battle Cry, 1955, from a Leon Uris novel.

A group of Marines eagerly await deployment during World War II in Battle Cry (1955).
