| User ReviewMike WI really like this movie and do not understand why it is not out on DVD. |
| User ReviewMatthew F. JThis TV movie about the real life 12 years old Navy enrolled Calvin Graham during WWII is a good TV movie. Of course the cinematography and reconstitution look a little dated and not as good as in a regular movie with bigger stars and bigger budgets but nevertheless I really got sucked in the story and enjoyed the actor's performance. This is a great story and even though the film itself might not live up to your expectations, I think it really deserves a good look. |
