An excellent cast of characters that portrayed U.S. Marines doing their job. Predictable ending with the marines all dying in the end but the mission is completed. Grenier then steals a radio and goes to tell Corey of their success, only to find Corey dead of blood loss from wounds he got while holding off the Japanese, leaving Grenier the sole survivor of the mission. A novelisation of the film's screenplay was written by Jack Pearl. We were very lucky to ever win this war, since those "dead" Japanese would keep coming back to life!

Ambush Bay is a good World War II action drama about a Marine Corps reconnaissance team dispatched to the Japanese-occupied island of Siargao in support of a pending U.S. amphibious invasion.
The plot is interesting and the movie has a good cast with Hugh O'Brian as First Sergeant Corey, Mickey Rooney as Gunnery Sergeant Wartell and James Mitchum as Private Grenier. Considering the cast I expected the film to be more interesting. Grenier to get to dislike each other.

Each Marine is not only experienced but has a special skill with the exception of the radio operator, PFC Grenier (James Mitchum).
