This is the story of David Marshall 'Marsh' Williams, the real life inventor of the world famous M-1 Carbine automatic rifle used in WWII. It all started when Marsh, who was one to do things his way, was caught distilling moonshine, and was accused and convicted of shooting a federal officer in the process. This at first placed him in the chain gang which labeled him as a hard case. Later, to make room for those more deserving, he was moved to a prison farm, where he came under the direction of Captain H.T. Peoples. The Captain was a mild mannered warden, who did not shy from discipline when necessary, but also believed that given the opportunity, most men will respond to good. Believing that Marsh was just such a person, the Captain gave him every opportunity to reform, so much so, that he eventually allowed Marsh to work in the tool shop on his spare time to develop and build by hand, a working rifle, inside the prison farm itself.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe overlooked pic is one of its legendary star's least seen films that deserves to be viewed. |
| User ReviewAshley HAny movie James Stewart is in becomes a Classic, this is no defferant. A perfect grouping of actors replaying the life of Marsh Williams as he becomes one of Americas most important gun designers in history, Family friendly, this is another movie I watch several times a year, it never gets old. James Stewart in my opinon is one of the best actors of all time. A must see movie |
| User ReviewStephen SCaught some parts of this on TV. Pretty cool film, especially how it was based on the story of the M1 Carbine's creation. Jimmy Stewart gives a solid acting performance here, as usual. |
| User ReviewScott Rhooo... apparently it's base on true story, well done James Stewart ^^ |
| User ReviewYakov EOK Jimmy Stewart film, but the drama is built up in all the wrong places. |

| User Reviewjake EInteresting biopic about a relatively obscure character. Acting overall feels a little stiff and predictable, but is unique enough to be interesting. |
