Featured review
Jack London
Jack London died in 1916 due to various illnesses and severe alcoholism. This heavily fictionalised movie opens in 1943 with the launch of the liberty ship Jack London.
This is a world war two propaganda movie rather than a warts and all biopic of a notable writer.
Jack London (Michael O'Shea) is an adventurer but the movie is really more interested in Jack London the war correspondent in the early 20th century. The war between Russia and Japan and more importantly the rise of Japan as a force to be reckoned with.
London sees at first hand of the brutality of the Japanese, some prisoners are gunned down. He hears from a Japanese commandant, of Japan's expansionist policies such as conquering China.
London wants to warn the American people about Japan's true intentions.
The movie is not very compelling. The acting is not that great, the purpose of the movie was to sell war bonds.
