This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

The genesis of The Story of Dr. Wassell is said to have been a story told by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to director Cecil B. DeMille. Gary Cooper stars as Corydon M. Wassell, a real-life country doctor from Arkansas who worked as a medical missionary in China in the years prior to WWII. When America enters the war, Dr. Wassell joins the Navy and is shipped to Java. As the Japanese overtake the island, Wassell is placed in charge of the wounded evacuated marines. Ordered to leave the area immediately, the doctor disobeys his commands, staying behind to care for ten seriously wounded men from the USS Marblehead, even as Japanese bombs rain down upon his staff.

4 of 5 Looks like a great WW2 film May 1, 2020
Reviewer: Michael K from Columbia, SC United States  
I've just skimmed through this DVD, which I got while buying "The Detective" (Father Brown). It looks like a wonderful made-during-WW2-film about a navy doctor (Gary Cooper, in color). Cecil B DeMille is a great story-teller, so I'm looking forward to watching this classic I'd never heard of before visiting the MovieDetective website. By the way, expect the DVD to have an unmarked generic cover; but it's what is ON the disc that counts!
