  • A rebuilt WWII U.S. Navy carrier sails back to the Pacific theater to rejoin the war in early 1945, a carrier the Japanese think they sank. So, if she shows up again, they will go after her with a vengeance.
    The story is told through the perspective of the ship's chaplain, Father Joseph McIntyre (John Lund). He's never served aboard a carrier but that is what he is about to do having been sent to serve aboard a carrier heading into battle with the Japanese fleet, and through his narration you get to know each of the major players of War.
    During his time aboard, Father McIntyre offers support to the crew, especially a trio of Crewmen.
    The Captain (Richard Boone) is a good guy, the epitome of the officer who realizes that he needs everybody on the ship, not just the experienced men. He knows the added risk for his ship, but shows he also has a heart by not relieving a pilot of flight duty, one who committed a serious mistake by not taking a wave-off as instructed.
    The drill sergeant (William Bendix) is tough-talking, but genuinely concerned about the recruits. He's that big lug with the heart of gold that you want on your side.
    There's also an injured pilot wanting to return to action, a troublemaking seaman who wants to be kicked off and another sailor annoyed that he was passed over for promotion, and enlisted men and low ranking officers (Claude Akins, Keefe Brasselle, and young hopeful Jimmy Lydon among them).
    The first half of the film shows the crew going through their daily routines, their friendships and struggles with missing life at home, and a few power struggles.
    The film takes a more serious turn when they get closer to their mission, and the fast pacing keeps the audience intrigued. The dive bomb and kamikaze attacks on two Essex class carriers, the USS Franklin and the USS Bunker Hill, provide much of the plot of this film. And the Japanese fleet nearly destroys the carrier again, ending the mission, but it is able to limp back to the states.
    A 1956 American war film directed by Lewis Seiler, produced by Bryan Foy, written by Crane Wilbur and Ben Finney, cinematography by Burnett Guffey, starring John Lund, William Bendix I ("The Babe Ruth Story"), Keefe Brasselle, Richard Boone (then playing TV's Dr. Conrad Styner on "Medic"), William Leslie, Jimmy Lydon, and a young Claude Aikens. Distributed by Columbia Pictures.
    Lot of action, with actual war footage. Somewhat uniquely, this film has no women in it. Opening title music is the title music from "The Caine Mutiny" (1954).
    Inspired by the documentary "The Fighting Lady" (1944). Filmed onboard an Essex class carrier, and in part, plays like a recruiting film for the U.S.Navy.
    Based on the USS Franklin CV-13. Its Chaplain, LCDR Fr. Joseph O'Callahan, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during the climactic battle depicted in the movie. His MOH citation reads: "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as chaplain on board the U.S.S. Franklin when that vessel was fiercely attacked by enemy Japanese aircraft during offensive operations near Kobe, Japan, on 19 March 1945. A valiant and forceful leader, calmly braving the perilous barriers of flame and twisted metal to aid his men and his ship, Lt. Comdr. O'Callahan groped his way through smoke-filled corridors to the open flight deck and into the midst of violently exploding bombs, shells, rockets, and other armament. With the ship rocked by incessant explosions, with debris and fragments raining down and fires raging in ever-increasing fury, he ministered to the wounded and dying, comforting and encouraging men of all faiths; he organized and led firefighting crews into the blazing inferno on the flight deck; he directed the jettisoning of live ammunition and the flooding of the magazine; he manned a hose to cool hot, armed bombs rolling dangerously on the listing deck, continuing his efforts, despite searing, suffocating smoke which forced men to fall back gasping and imperiled others who replaced them. Serving with courage, fortitude, and deep spiritual strength, Lt. Comdr. O'Callahan inspired the gallant officers and men of the Franklin to fight heroically and with profound faith in the face of almost certain death and to return their stricken ship to port."
    The Movie Scene described this above-average Columbia programmer as having "that same sense of patriotism and propaganda about it which those movies made during WWII had," that "it feels like who ever wrote it had watched dozens of other movies about life at sea during the war, picked out all the bits which they liked right down [to] the music and then slotted them together," and that it "delivers plenty of cliche.
    This tale of heroism shows once again how ordinary men tapped undreamed reserves of valor with which to face otherwise overwhelming horror, and would interest people who want to know more about the war and how it affected people.

    I really enjoyed this movie, im 64 but was never able to serve for medical reasons but I tell ya what I cant get enough of the WWII generation, had three four uncles that served but would never talk about it, but I get emotional when I see stories like these. I know most are just movies but the pride one feels seeing what our servicemen have to endure is clearly above and beyond while the rest of us get to stay home and keep our freedom. Sadly I dont know how many of our current generation is made of the same stuff, but I still hear and see stories of extreme sacrifice and bravery even today - so I extend my heart felt thanks and emotion to all who serve in the name of freedom - RIP to the countless souls lost and to their families who served and died for our freedom

    A wonderful movie and a tribute to the brave sailors who fought and died. My father-in-law was a machinist mate on the USS Franklin and his story of this episode was mesmerizing and heartbreaking. He witnessed much bravery and sorrow as everyone on the ship fought for their lives and their ship. The damage and post-attack list of the Franklin was beyond imagination and the fact that it did not sink and carried the survivors home was a true miracle. God bless them all and R.I.P.

    Like thousands of other sailors, I was on a carrier home ported at Alameda NAS, just during a different war. This was an interesting flick in that it brought back so many memories, down to leaving San Francisco Bay and looking up at the golden Gate Bridge. A sappy movie, but nostalgic for me. With good actors.

    I love the wooden training film feel to it and that they obviously filmed it on a real carrier with the ships company standing in as extras and even playing some bit parts. One point though that's bugged me since I saw this as a kid on Australian telly all those years ago; Cpt Bligh RN was a real person and even ended up Governor of New South Wales.

    • @barnham9388
      @barnham9388 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Really odd that they got a fact like that wrong (about Bligh) and it’s not not an obscure one…. A product of its time, giving Gehres such a positive depiction when seems consensus is he wasn’t a good leader at all, numerous reported incidents seeming to bear that out. The real life Bligh who some might have regarded as tyrannical at least partly balancing any overall assessment of him by remarkable seamanship - meanwhile Gehres apparently turned down the civilian pilot on the way back into Pearl Harbour and managed to crash the poor wounded Franklin into the dockside. Does the film take a gentle unspoken swipe at Gehres by clearly depicting that the ship was not at general stations when the devastating attack comes in, or do we take its depiction of that as coming without any implicit criticism?

      As I Said before. Until I Recently Viewed this Film & Actually Saw it was Offered on UTube. I had Never known of it's very Existence or it's Rather Vague, but True History, & it's Story. And I'm Guessing it's the Real True, Telling of a Great Ship's Actual Story from it's Factual Combat Logs and the Record of it's Total Operations.
      These I Gathered took place from the later Fall of 1943 or was it 1944? To it's Apparent Retelling of it's Last Tour & it's Actual Filmed Combat, Action Operations, they then Showed US in the preceding Film.
      From the Film's, Brief Retelling, it was those consequently Action's, that then took it Out of Active Action in Early 1945. And this is where it then Miraculous, was able too Return, State Side for it's ASAP many Needed Repairs, and a Complete Refit too Fight again.
      In My Humble POV, plus with some ugh 😩😫 mild Research & past Sketchy knowledge of WWll Navel Ship's and Thier Actual Stories, of Thier previous Combat Record's, & Operations.
      IT was with Special Concern, for those Opps. Which took Place in Mid 1944 too the Latter ugh Spring of 1945. That it's My agh Assumption that the given Carrier Shown & told About? IN this ugh Film. Had too of being the Story, of The Mighty USS Franklin. Which was an Essex Class Fleet Carrier, which had been Launched in the Spring of 1943 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Also I had then gathered, from My prior & previous varied Reading's, that though they were Brief or just Say Mild Mentions of its Glorious Involvement. That even in it's Rather Brief but Exciting Sorte's against Our Foes. That in it's few Tours,& Combat.
      Against that Still Vast & immensely Strongly held Japanese Chain,of many Island 🏝️🏝️ Bases, or it's Home Island's and Territories.
      The USS Franklin was a Very Big Contributor too Our Navy's Effort's too Stop the Japanese Forces. During those 🗝️ Very Crucial later Stages of the War, & it's Conflict in the Pacific Ocean and The Far East. AHH I've Babbled Way to Much, So I'll Apologize & Close
      Out with it's A Great Film 📽️&Glorious Retelling of a Ship's History and it's Crew Who RIP Eternally Now Alongside So Many Other's. So God Be With Them. And Leastwise We Never Forget Them. AMEN. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Skilful mix of new and real photography keeps it interesting. Fun to point out the Hollywood errors, such as the difference between a door and a hatch. That generation will never be duplicated.

      This movie was made on board the USS Princeton (CV-37) which was scrapped in 1971. Even though extensively modified internally, she still retained the look of a WWII Essex class carrier.

    Was Captain Bligh a real person?
    William Bligh | Royal Museums Greenwich
    William Bligh was an officer in the Royal Navy and was the victim of a mutiny on his ship, the Bounty, in 1789. Bligh (1754-1817) had a reputation for having a volatile temper and often clashed with his fellow officers and crewmen. His crew mutinied against him during a return trip from Tahiti in 1789.

    Well, the true story of this ship wasn't told, the real captain charged those who had to jump from their gun mounts into the water to keep from burning or blow overbroad were charged with desertion in front of the enemy, it took years for the Navy to clear those who were charged, the captain was relieved of command and was assigned to desk duty, never to serve on a Navy ship again or placed in command of anything. In real life the captain was a overbearing ass hole. There is a good documentary out there that tells the real story of the USS Franklin, for those interested.

    Based on the exploits of the Essex Class Aircraft Carrier CV-13 USS Franklin. Nicknamed "The Big Ben", she was the most heavily damaged carrier to survive the war. During operations off the coast of Japan in March 1945, she was struck by two bombs while launching a second wave of carrier strikes. With 924 killed in action (807 killed during the March 1945 attack) during the war, it was the worst for any surviving U.S. warship and second only to that of USS Arizona.

    In the Royal Navy the 'Sin Bosuns' (sic) do not actually have a commission or carry a rank - They assume the rank/rating of the person to whom they are speaking when in private. Naturally enough they are victualed in the Wardroom, and have a cabin.
    State Rooms are generally to be found in the first class sections of passenger liners and not on warships!

    The blurb above doesn't mention that a good number of African-American sailors are depicted during muster formations in the movie, but in 1945 the US military had not been integrated. That's an interesting anachronism but perhaps revealing of the interest in giving due recognition to Black Americans' contribution to victory over the Axis.
