It stars Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe playing the same characters with different names that they played in ''What Price Glory?'' and several sequels; however the original film trailer mentions ''What Price Glory?'' and ''The Cock-Eyed World''.〔http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/index.jsp?cid=74368〕 The film features extensive stock footage from RKO's ''Soldiers of the Sea'' that in some cases appear on process screens that the actors stand in front of. ==Plot== Ex-Marines Jimmy McGinnis (Victor McLaglen) and Harry Curtis (Edmund Lowe), who haven't seen each other for fifteen years, meet at a racetrack. They both immediately drop their jobs as an attendant and cleaner to rekindle their friendship and brawl over which one will have Violet (Binnie Barnes) for their girl. When visiting a clip joint called the Shoreleave Cafe with Violet, they meet the owner, Jim Blake (Paul Kelly). Blake was their former captain; he left the Corps under a cloud when he was blamed for a security breach. Blake is involved in espionage, arranging to buy the plans for a new amphibious vehicle. Jimmy and Harry are called back to active service as gunnery sergeants with the 6th Marines where they crash the spy ring. The fast-paced comedy uses the spy plot as merely an excuse for five musical numbers by Harry Revel and a variety of comedy sequences, such as barroom brawls over thrown garters, spies and policemen with speech impediments, and jeep, motorcycle and car chases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Call Out the Marines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
