If it weren't so clearly a product of the precise moment when the U.S. had just suffered the Japanese sneak attacks of December 1941, To the Shores of Tripoli might easily be mistaken for the definitive parody of World War II Hollywood jingoism by a latter-day satirical troupe--say, the SCTV gang. Smartass child of privilege John Payne is sent to Marine boot camp to learn about responsibility and being a team player. Although shot on location at San Diego, the sunny Technicolor training exercises look more like a musical-comedy summer stock company working out. Drillmaster Randolph Scott and fiery-haired nurse Maureen O'Hara love Payne in spite of his myriad obnoxious qualities, and he does have the right stuff, as he demonstrates at the drop of a hat--and the rest of his civilian clothes--the minute he hears about Pearl Harbor over the radio. The finale, a troopship embarkation turned full-scale production number, has to be seen to be disbelieved. --Richard T. Jameson

The script and ending were quickly changed to reflect the headlines and the sentiment of the day. The film was rushed in to theaters within a few months of completion and became ... Read More

GREAT! A war film starring Randolph Scott and John Payne - well, er, no, actually. If they made this movie today it would probably be described as a romantic comedy, and the only fighting is between the Marines themselves and between John Payne and Maureen O'Hara. In fact, the film ends at the point where America enters the War, and the errant John Payne rejoins his unit.
If you like Rom-Coms then this is a very enjoyable little piece, but personally, as a kid growing up watching ... Read More

What a huge disappointment from 20th Century-Fox studios...I saw this movie since 1942...hundreds of times in vivid, vibrant and primary TECHNICOLOR...I loved it; hell, I even joined the US Marines...the dust/jacket claims the DVD is in Technicolor in three [3] different places..."FLASH"...it's in Black & White, my man...all of the reviews [below] depict the screen/play one way or the other [to each his/her own]...I was hoping with anticipated joy to see this DVD in glorious TECHNICOLOR...what a ...

I just bought the DVD of this title and mine is in breathtaking Technicolor. Was this a problem that was corrected or did the other reviewers have the color turned off on their TV sets?
