Republic film that utilized Jack Natteford's original story from Republic's 1. The Marines Have Landed." In between "Marines" and "Remember", Republic had dusted this plot off for two Westerns, 1. Guns in the Dark" with Johnny Mack Brown and 1. Rough Riders Round- Up" with Roy Rogers, and tossed in an Easterner "Storm Over Bengal" in 1.

All that was required to film a nearly- annual version was to change some character names, revamp the "Mc. Guffey", 'weinie" or goal sought by the villains and make sure the lead/hero is, or thinks he is, responsible for getting one of his pals killed. The dead pal also needs to be related to the heroine for an early- conflict relationship that leads to romance and redemption when she discovers the hero is not the one who was responsible for getting her relative killed.. Western versions, at least. In the feature versions, the lead can die and be redeemed giving the heroine and 2nd lead an opportunity to discuss his noble, sacrifice death at the end to save the free world as we know it. Little Republic, nestled in the San Fernando Valley ( or, to be more apt and use the Jack Mathis term, the Valley of the Cliffhangers), took a back seat to none when it came to getting there first with a film named after a song title, or a fad or current- event headline of the day.

Most of those old enough to enlist had already done so, and those not old enough were ready to go as soon as they were age- qualified, and nothing in "Remember Pearl Harbor" served as an inducement. Republic took this one out of their "block- booking" schedule and offered it to the exhibitors as a "Special", i. Life", "The Saturday Evening Post" and other weekly magazines of the day. Plus, they billed Don Barry as Donald M.

Barry just to show this was a serious film and event(and worthy of the higher booking rates.) Lest any of the above be taken as critical of the studio for recycling a script in order to get there quick with a hot title and timely subject matter that, in May, 1. I'd knock the Republic of Texas before I'd slam Republic Pictures. Well, maybe not, but close. Just watch it for what it was/is.
