Description:
Jim Moore is a tough-as-nails Drill Instructor with a chip on his shoulder: Pvt. Owens, who isn't quite up to snuff. Sgt. Moore is convinced that "there's a man underneath that baby powder" and sets out to force the private to rise to the occasion. Instead, he drives Owens to bail out altogether. Things only get worse when the Captain steps in and givesMoore three days to make the a Marine out of the petrified private.

- Jack Webb "THE MAN"
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid. I thought Jack Webb was just the best good, bad man. He always had a way of showing toughness that kind of rivals other actors of that era, sort of like Clint Eastwood.
Anyway I found a site that actually has a DVD of this movie. Most likely a copy from the VHS version but still a DVD.
Here is the link $9.95 for the Disk and the same for shipping so you end up spending about 20 bucks for this classic.http://www.dvdsclassic.com/di ... Read More

- The D.I.
At first, I wasn't sure what comdition I would receive my tape of The D.I., if it was going to be viewable or not as the movie was made in the 50's. To my supprise, I was advised that it would be good to very good.As it turned out, it was excellent viewing, as if it was new.Thank you so much, I've been looking for this movie for quite some time.
Rating: - Good service
I was happy with my service from this retailer.Shipping was slow, but video was in great condition.This is a hard to find item, so I was impressed that it was in such good condition.
Rating: - Great entertainment and realism too :)

I suspect the movie will have the greatest appeal to those who had the privilege of going through ... Read More
Rating: - The Time Has Come For A DVD Release!!!
This is not a review of "The D.I.," because everybody already knows it's a classic and a must-see for everyone, military or not. Instead, this is a plea to the movie studio who owns the rights to "The D.I."
I know some studio, or somebody, has the rights to this movie. I can get a bootleg version, probably copied from Turner Classic Movies or AMC, but I want an official, digitally remastered version of this timeless classic. Why won't the studios wake up??? They could easily sell a million copies of this ... Read More
