Too Young the Hero (1988 TV Movie)
7/10
Not Your Average War Movie...
18 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
...since it was never meant to be a war movie. Instead, it is something of a biography...while dramatized to the hilt, it is none the less the true story of Calvin Graham, acknowledged to be the youngest veteran of the WW2 Navy. It includes some stark WW2 film clips of action, and overall is fairly well done, telling young Graham's subterfuge in enlisting, then fighting on the USS South Dakota, while bouncing back to his imprisonment after being found out. The movie does a good job of getting the point across that the Navy really didn't know what to do with him...

Not an EMMY level movie, but still worth watching...
