Halls of Montezuma is a true WWII Marine movie gem. Featuring actual color footage of combat taken in the Pacific, this 1951 film has genuine notes which resound with Cockpit USA HQ and our mission of incorporating authenticity into every piece of military inspired attire we produce. Directed by Oscar winner Lewis Milestone and starring Richard Widmark, Karl Malden, Jack Palance and Robert Wagner, Halls of Montezuma was shot on location at California’s Camp Pendleton. Unraveling the tale of a patrol sent to detain prisoners for interrogation on a Japanese controlled island; this movie depicts the no-nonsense bravery and tough determination of Marine officers on a mission.
