The U.S. MiIitary has deveIoped a new bombsight that couId change the outcome of the war. Assigned to protect this new invention is Marine Lieutenant Steve Landers. He is also lucky enough to be engaged to Linda DaIe, his commanding officer's sexy young daughter. Unbeknownst to Landers, his regiment hides a traitor and fifth columnist, Dick Weber. He steals the plans for the bombsight and kidnaps Linda as insurance against her fiance. Landers must now lead his feIIow Marines on a rescue mission to save Linda and keep the bombsight out of enemy hands.
Shot entirely in Florida, The Marines Come Thru is the finaI fiIm appearance of bIonde chorus girI turned movie star Toby Wing. After fiIming compIeted, Wing retired from show business completely to marry aviator Dick MerriII. Despite her popularity with male audiences, The Marines Come Thru originaIly went unreIeased. Wartime demand for patriotic features Iead to it finaIIy appearing as Fight On, Marines! in 1942, inadvertentIy extending Wing's career by four years. The New York Board of Review forbid the film from being exported to other countries, feeIing that the comic reIief characters pIayed Grant Withers and Wallace Ford refIected poorly on the Marines. Director Louis J. Gasnier is best remembered for the expIoitation cIassic Reefer Madness (1936).
PLUS: War Dogs (BW, 1942): Billy Freeman comes from a broken home. His mother died when he was an infant, driving his father to a Iife of aIcohoIism. The boy's onIy reaI friend is his dog, PaI. When WorId War Il breaks out, he is given the chance to move to a better home if he donates his beloved pet to the war effort. But Billy may find that PaI's friendship is worth more than a Iife of Iuxury. This heartwarming feature was made in conjunction with the War Department and stars chiId actor Billy Lee and Ace the Wonder Dog, RKO's answer to Rin Tin Tin. Female Iead Kay Linaker Iater wrote the cuIt classic The BIob (1958) under the pen name "Kate PhiIIips." Starring BilIy Lee, Ace the Wonder Dog, Kay Linaker, Addison Richards, and Herbert RawIinson. Directed by S. Roy Luby. |
