Editorial Review:
With ANNE BAXTER, THOMAS MITCHELL, SELENA ROYLE, WARD BOND, BOBBY DRISCOLL. Directed by LLOYD BACON. This heart-wrenching drama was made at the height of World War II, when American mothers and fathers were sending their sons off to battle. In too many cases, these young men never were to return. It opens with a simple declaration: "This is a true story." What follows is the account of five young men named Sullivan. They enjoy a typical all-American small town childhood as they share youthful adventures and mischief. The Sullivans go fishing and boating. They worship in church. They boyishly slide down the banister of their house and squabble among themselves and with others. Their hardworking father tries to set for them a good example. Their mother cooks their meals, cleans their clothes and mediates their differences. The years pass too quickly and the Sullivans become young men. They date and go to dances. One of them falls in love and marries. Then terrible news comes, on December 7, 1941. The Japanese have launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. America is at war. "Its always been the five of us," one of the Sullivans proclaims. So they join the navy to do their patriotic duty. This is a tremendously moving account of boys grown into men and of honor and obligation, courage and sacrifice. The film is extremely well-acted, especially by Thomas Mitchell as the Sullivans father and Anne Baxter as the bride of the youngest Sullivan. Highly recommended. 113 minutes.

The Fighting Sullivans (1944 USA) Reviews:
The Fighting Sullivans
2009-07-17 - This is the main story that Saving Private Ryan is kind of based on. The story revolves around the Sullivan family from the five brothers early life as boys to them growing into men who join the U.S. Navy after Pearl Harbor. Has plenty of cute laughs and the ending is a little teary after their family learns of their fate. This particular dvd seems to have been burned onto a disc but is of good quality unless you want a new one for a few dollars more.

2009-07-04 - GREAT WAR MOVIE THAT CHANGED THE WAY BROTHERS WOULD SERVE THEIR COUNTRY IN FUTURE WARS. WHAT A WAY FOR PARENTS TO SUFFER SUCH A LOSS.

2009-05-24 - It is a great movie, saw it once back in the 70's and fell in love with it and have been looking for it on DVD ever since. Thank you for making it available to the public. Great quality, move came when you said it would. This movie is a piece of American History and everyone should own a copy so that we don't forget.

Everyone should see this story!
2009-04-24 - I saw this movie when I was 21 and cried myself to sleep and when I watched it now at age 69, I was surprised how much of it I remembered. A real story with real people and so heartwarming but so tragic to see what happened to the Sullivan family. From this event, I understand that after this happened, brothers may not be assigned to the same ship. I want my extended family to see this and remember how dedicated these boys were to defending our country even in time of war. I loved the movie.
