I am torn about reviewing Go for Broke! As a positive "propaganda" film it is great. Yet as a film production it is somewhat dated, primarily because of the excessive earnestness and rah-rah storytelling it used. That was predominant in 1940s-50s war films, but has aged badly. One of the very positive aspects of these techniques is that the character development is great, with the individual personalities of the soldiers and officers shining through. This was one of the earliest, and still one of the best, works of art to set the record straight about the then-underreported success of the Japanese-American citizens who fought in the European theatre during WWII while their familes were mostly interred.
