My Father, LCDR Frank Bernard Quady, USN, was killed aboard the USS Bunker Hill by a double kamikaze attack. For my Father, I say this movie was so bad I quit about half an hour into it.
The guy who played the sailor with the cap pulled down ridiculously was absolutely disgusting. No sailor would wear his cap on like that except possibly at home cleaning out the gutters.
Note: This guy was the "star" of the film – the part that I watched. I couldn't force myself to watch any more.
I grew up in the '50s in Coronado, CA and this movie never played there, as far as I know. I never heard of this flick.
I'll have to rent it sometime and watch only the official U.S. Navy footage, fast forwarding past the stupid sailor, whoever he is or was.
I didn't see any U.S. Naval personnel listed as advisers. They surely would have nixed it.
One more thing about the stupid sailor. He was a disgrace to all sailors. Sailors are the heart of the Navy.
