Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Halls of Montezuma is a 1951 American World War II war film directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Richard Widmark, Jack Palance, Reginald Gardiner and Robert Wagner in his first credited screen role. The plot concerns U.S. Marines fighting on a Japanese-held island, and the title is a reference to the opening line from the Marines' Hymn. Real color combat footage from the war in the Pacific was incorporated into the film's cinematography, and scenes at Camp Pendleton, California were filmed on location with the full cooperation of the Marines.
