A young man in rural Mississippi hears the call of duty the day after Pearl Harbor. His younger brother, just a boy, decides to join him and basically runs away from home to the big city of Memphis. He is befriended by an Army colonel who convinces him to return home. Based on a William Faulkner short story, this slick production boasts authentic period flavor, but the characters can be a bit distant, especially the younger boy who comes off as precocious and impulsive.
