Stepin Fetchit’s dumbo act provides the Not Politically Correct comedy relief in an otherwise turgid military love story.

I’d like to see a lot more of George O’Brien’s silent films. Wish you could get East Side, West Side, Paid to Love, and The Dancers.

I’ve waited forty years to see this rare John Ford. Even here, you can see Ford’s love for militaristic ritual & traditional regimentation. Plus very young appearances by Bond, Wayne, Chandler & especially an almost unrecognizable Lee Tracy as the radio announcer (only his quintessential rat-a-tat delivery gives him away). Certainly worth a viewing but beware of Ford’s use of racial stereotyping with Stepin Fetchit. It is a bit unfortunate in such an important film.
