An outstanding classic movie
The movie was made i 1944 during the Second World War, and it was not made to glorify war. It is about those caught up in the wartime emotions and experiences. It is not about guts and glory, like so many movies about combat. It is about care, expressed bravado, and deep emotions of those experiencing naval combat in the Pacific. Carefully watch those scenes of silent visual sentimentality, expressed bravado, and of loss and desperation. These emotions so superbly captured by the director Henry Hathaway. The film has more human value than those modern movies made today for visual excitement and just selling tickets. Scenes to watch are (a.) actor Henry Morgan as a torpedo bomber pilot expressing his bravado in how he’s going to destroy the enemy and what happens to him later when he disobeys orders, (b.) the air battle being heard on the carrier intercom system by carrier servicemen – especially when one pilot and his crew is hit and having to crash into the sea, (c.) the lone three man torpedo bomber searching for the carrier in foul low visibility weather conditions – especially watch the face of the young gunner telling the pilot and other crewman that he just made 17 years old and then he looks down to see the older crewman in the lower part of the plane, and (d.) the scene near the end of the movie where one pilot starts to accuse the flight instructor of neglect in not having care to signal the lone lost torpedo bomber trying to find the carrier. These scenes are those of the many scenes to carefully watch and appreciate about wartime experiences. As a kid in Chicago I saw this movie just thinking it didn’t show enough exciting action, and never understood the true value of the movie. As an older adult, I have more mature insight on the value of this movie. I hope you watch it and in time will develop similar thoughts about the value of the film. The naval Avenger three-man torpedo bombers in the movie are the same as President George H.W. Bush piloted during the war in the Pacific.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
