wrong Robert Walker


One of the Commentaries to this film mentions that the young sailor is played by Robert Walker Jr. That needs to be corrected to "Robert Walker SENIOR." Walker Sr. (later co-star of "Strangers on a Train"), was born in 1918 and died young in 1951. His son, Robert Walker JUNIOR, was born in 1940 from Senior's marriage to Jennifer Jones, and evidently is still living. Although this son (Junior) later became an actor in his own right, we must remember that "Junior" was only three years old when "Bataan" was released. -- Prof Steven P Hill, Cinema Studies, Univ. of Illinois.
