Longtime rivals in the Marines, Capt. Flagg (James Cagney) and Sgt. Quirt (Dan Dailey) are stationed together in France during World War I. Soon the two tough military officers are competing for the hand of pretty local girl Charmaine (Corinne Calvet). Flagg and Quirt get into plenty of trouble, but their playful brawling eventually gives way to camaraderie, particularly when the realities of war set in as the soldiers head back out to the battlefield.

Bob Thomas Associated Press Jul 24, 2019
Helping to play it to the hilt are James Cagney and Dan Dailey, an inspired casting for Quirt and Flagg. They keep things rolling at a fast clip, and the result is pure entertainment. Go to Full Review
Manny Farber The Nation Nov 25, 2020
What Price Glory? owes its spark and vitality to the Cagney-Dailey acting team, which doesn't seem bothered by having to shoulder the oldest luggage of slapstick and pathos. Go to Full Review
Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Jan 31, 2012
Anti-war film unfortunately never gels, drastically rewriting classic play, but does offer some caustic views of armies training young men to die in war. Go to Full Review
