Reception
Variety wrote the film "sputters through wartime cliches as if lonely marines and lousy rations were fresh enough to arouse an audience’s untouched sympathies. They’re not and, while the Allied Artists production gains zest midway through its 78 minutes, a rambling start makes it just another programmer."[4]
