Entertainment Reviews:
For a while The Fighting 69th makes a noise like a good picture, but after a time its woeful inadequacies are visible to the naked eye -- and the blasted ear.

The Fighting 69th...may become a gushy tearjerker by its end, but you can't argue that its heart isn't in the right place.

Rating: 3/5 --
In one of his few war films, Cagney displays his "specialty" of explosive energy, as a despicable Irishman, who initially sneers at the regiment's traditions but then learns the hard way the mistakes of his cowardice and irresponsibility.

A sentimental recruiting poster account of the famed First World War New York National Guard division of mostly Irish-Americans.

Among best of Cagney-O'Brien Warner team-ups, this one set in WWI.

Product Description:
A made-for-Cagney part as a cocky Brooklyn kid who likes nothing better than a fight. He gets all he can handle as a member of "The Fighting 69th," the celebrated Irish-American unit that goes "over there" and into the trenches of World War I. His bravado melts as the Kaiser's guns rain death onto the Allied positions. A fine blend of fighting action, humor and real emotion. Avoid colorized version.
