My Review

The drama surrounding the creation of the U. S. Navy’s Seabees in World War II is the subject of “The Fighting Seabees.” Though not completely factual, this Republic Pictures movie about the Navy’s construction unit is highly entertaining and was popular at the box office. The presence of stars John Wayne and Susan Hayward seemed to guarantee that.

Co-stars include Dennis O’Keefe, William Frawley, Paul Fix, Leonid Kinskey, Grant Withers, and Duncan Renaldo, who would later go on to star in the television series “The Cisco Kid” (1950-1956) in the title role. “The Fighting Seabees” remains an exciting film with good production values thanks to director Edward Ludwig and screenwriters Borden Chase and Aeneas MacKenzie.
