Anybody can start a fight... but here are the guys who can finish it!

Tanks were rolling across Europe. World War II had begun. For many Americans, U.S. involvement in the conflict became a question of "when" rather than "if". Warner Bros. reflected that strengthening resolve with exciting, patriotic films set in the war gone by. One was the hard-hitting saga of The Fighting 69th.
In the seventh of their nine movies together, off-screen pals James Cagney and Pat O'Brien play soldiers of the famed, largely Irish-American World War I regiment. O'Brien is Father Duffy, the brave chaplain whose statue stands today in Times Square. Cagney is Jerry Plunkett, a street-tough braggart turned yellow by the horror of No Man's Land, but inspired to redemptive heroism by Duffy's courage under fire.
