What Price Glory
What Price Glory is a 1952 American war film on DVD, directed by John Ford.
In 1918 France, Captain Flagg commands a disreputable company of Marines; his new top sergeant is his old friendly enemy, Quirt. The two men become rivals for the favors of fair innkeeper s daughter Charmaine, but the rivalry goes into reverse when Charmaine proves to be angling for a husband. When the company is ordered to the front, this comedy interlude gives way to the grim realities of war.
Critic Reviews:
- " Cagney and Dailey go at it in the yelling department; fun John Ford WWI story. " – Steve Crum
- " Cagney is at his energetic best and almost single-handedly keeps the thing moving. " – Jeffrey M. Anderson
- " Helping to play it to the hilt are James Cagney and Dan Dailey, an inspired casting for Quirt and Flagg. They keep things rolling at a fast clip, and the result is pure entertainment. " – Bob Thomas
