Darby's Rangers is a 1958 American war film starring James Garner as William Orlando Darby, who organizes and leads the first units of United States Army Rangers during World War II. Directed by William Wellman, the film was shot by Warner Bros. Pictures in black and white, to match wartime stock footage included in the production.
