We've Never Been Licked: Difference between revisions

A [[World War II|1943]] American [[propaganda]] film centered around a student at [[Everything Is Big in Texas|Texas A&M University]]. Brad, an American living in the Philippines enrolls in Texas A&M University, hoping to study [[Call to Agriculture|agriculture]] so that he can apply that education to improving life in the Philippine Islands, which he calls home. The first two friends he meets at A&M are a pair of Japanese students, who turn out to be [[Yellow Peril|spies]]. He is suspected of being a spy because of his association with the Japanese students, and ends up joining their spy ring, hoping to sabotage it from inside. Finally, he ends up as a Tokyo Rose-style Japanese propaganda broadcaster, who [[Contrived Coincidence|somehow]] finds himself broadcasting from the back seat of a Japanese plane during the Battle of Midway. He wrests control of the plane at a key moment in the battle, and crashes it into the Japanese flagship to prevent it from launching planes to intercept a squadron of American planes led by one of his classmates from Texas A&M.

 

* [[California Doubling]] - Surprisingly averted. It was shot in College Station, Texas. However, so much the university has changed that it's difficult to identify where exactly films were shot.

* [[Call to Agriculture]] - The protagonist's motivation to enroll at Texas A&M University.
