The D.I. (1957)

Description

Give him 12 weeks. He'll give youia Marine The recruits are strong, cocky and undisciplined. But they won't be Marines until someone stronger, cockier and above all, disciplined is finished with them. That someone is The D.I. Producer/director/star Jack Webb brings to The D.I. the "just-the-facts-ma'am" style he popularized on TV's Dragnet. Webb plays iron-willed Sgt. Jim Moore, toughest of tough-guy drill instructors. The leather-lunged leatherneck blisters his latest batch of trainees with his patented blend of insults and encouragement. And all respond except for one reluctant boot (Don Dubbins). He's just the kind of guy who'll spoil Moore's spotless record. . .if the seasoned vet doesn't first find out what makes him tick. It's a role tailor-made for Webb - and entertainment tailor-made for you.
