   User Reviews. They Were Expendable is John Ford's first Hollywood feature since his discharge from the U.S. Navy and the same can be said for Robert Montgomery. Both had served in the Navy and Montgomery in fact on P.T. Boats. From the last presidential election we now know them as Swift Boats.

8. People also ask

   Why is they were expendable a good movie?

   • They Were Expendable has the benefit though of the American audience knowing the ultimate victory. The story begins in the Phillipines in 1941 with Robert Montgomery as real life naval hero John Bulkeley, renamed Brickley for the film, trying to convince the brass of the usefulness of the P.T. Boat in combat, not just for scouting and courier duty.

   What is 'they were expendable' about?

   • "They Were Expendable" is an episodic, sometimes rambling affair, with more than a bit of hyperbole about what the PT-boats accomplished. Much time is taken up with the squadron's part in the evacuation of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, whom Ford treats as such a holy thing he is never referred to by name.

   Where was 'they were expendable' filmed?

   • The production took place after Ford went on leave from the Navy in October 1942. Like Lesley H. Martinson's "PT-109," "They Were Expendable" was lensed on location in Florida, with Key Biscayne substituting splendidly for the Philippines.

   Why do people watch 'expendable'?

   • Wayne is the reason people watch "Expendable," but Montgomery is why it sticks. A combat veteran just back from the war, he keeps it real with a low-key performance. There's no shouting when he issues commands, just firm authority.
