The Fighting 69th (1940)
IMDB: The Fighting 69th (1940)
Plot Outline:
"The Fighting 69th" is a First World War regiment of mostly New York-Irish soldiers. Amongst a cocky crew, perhaps the cockiest is Jerry Plunkett, a scrappy fellow who looks out only for himself. The officers and non-coms of the regiment do their best to instill discipline in Plunkett, and the chaplain, Father Duffy, tries to make Plunkett see the greater good, all to no avail.
Hey, Cagney is worth watching in most anything, although this color by numbers war story is pretty much a simple tribute story to Father Duffy.
