Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 14″ ad for the movie, They Were Expendable. This was a wartime movie starring Robert Montgomery and John Wayne along with Donna Reed, Jack Holt and Ward Bond. This text has a headline saying “Men At Work On The Picture Of The Year!”. It then said that “You can put a camera to sea and record clouds and waves. Or, you can take a magnificent story, give it a great director, fine actors and produce an unforgettable film. That is exactly what the men above are doing. It is one thing to say ‘great’ and ‘glorious.’ It is another thing to feel these qualities in your heart. Destiny itself seems to make W.L. White’s novel, They Were Expendable great and glorious”. The words go on highlighting the story as it was written.
