“The New "What Price Glory"”

Captain Flagg (James Cagney) loses his patience the moment Sergeant Quirt (Dan Dailey) gets posted back under his command as top sergeant. The two Marines were rivals already, and a local beauty named Charmaine (Corinne Calvet) gives them a woman to fight over. John Ford has them brawling and scheming to dodge the altar, but marching orders are coming, and the wedding they dread is about to look like the safer fight.
