Guadalcanal Diary (book and film) Hollywood cooperated
with the war effort by producing films to build the morale of the American people.
Released in 1943. The film recounts the fight
of the United States Marines in the Battle of Guadalcanal, which occurred only a year before the movie's release. While the film has notable battle scenes, its primary focus is on the characters and back stories of the Marines.
