One of my favorite old movies. Webb really shines in his role. Lots of great one-liners in the movie, too.

Great movie.
I still remember the scene where the DI (Webb) offered the mother an out for her son. She turned him down and asked him to make her son a man.
Best DI portrayal until Full Metal Jacket.

Slightly corny (as it is with just about anything Webb), yet highly watchable, (as it is with just about anything Webb).

I've been gigged for this before here (they actually showed MOVIES?!?!?) But it's true. Parris Island 1989, we saw 'Sands of Iwo Jima', which I'd seen before, and 'The D.I.', which I'd never seen. Have both on DVD.

Kill 'em, sir!
I bought my Dress Cover used. The name inside it was Owens. I always thought that was funny.
