Wiki.
Halls of Montezuma is a 1951 American World War II war film directed by Academy Award-winner Lewis Milestone and starring Richard Widmark. It also stars Robert Wagner in his first credited screen role and features Richard Boone in his feature-film debut. The story is about U.S. Marines fighting on a Japanese-held island, and the title is a reference to the opening line from the Marines' Hymn.
Real color combat footage from the war in the Pacific was incorporated into the film's cinematography,
and scenes at Camp Pendleton, California, were filmed on location with the full cooperation of the Marines.
The film was referred to in M*A*S*H (1970), directed by Robert Altman.
