An Almost Perfect War Movie
|
| Made while the war was still on. based on a book by the C.O. of the actual PT boat squadron that is depicted. Underlining the story is the heartbreaking fact that most of the characters we see won't be evacuated and will face death or unhuman treatment as POWs. They get a few licks in but the focus is men doing their best under near impossible conditions. The movie didn't need to go for cheap theatrics since the real story was more than dramatic enough for anyone. I've stood on the dock on Corregador that "Dugout Doug" left from and you can almost feel the sprits of the crewmen around you. A great film telling an inspiring tale. |
