His brother and his cousin, duty-bound,
Signed up to fight the Great War far away.
Meanwhile in Oz, bad guys were all around
The fam'ly spread, and Billy's sis was cute!
So many genres in one movie! There's
War stuff and hot revenge -- watch Billy shoot
Unerringly wherever Billy fares!
His mother speechifies, his sister shrinks
From nothing, and his brother's Batman, too!
The script is tight, the music's fine, the links
'Twixt shell-shock and rough justice, they feel true.
The Brothers Davis, though, are writers first.
I can't quite call their acting, though, the worst.
