Sands of Iwo Jima(1949) arrives on Blu-ray on Veteran's Day(appropriately enough) November 11, 2014, in the latest release from Olive Films. John Wayne was nominated (but did not win) an Academy Award for his portrayal of Marine Sgt. John W. Stryker in Sands of Iwo Jima, but he would ultimately win the award for best actor in True Grit(1969). Sands of Iwo Jima was produced a mere 4 years after the historical events presented in the film, and benefits from historical footage that is edited into the body of the film.
