    A profound film. As ex-US Navy, the finale, with the sub heading out to sea, chokes me up.

    Ernest Gold's beautiful score suited the movie perfectly: uplifting yet poignant. I agree, though, it would have been very effective if Peck had asked his Executive Officer to command the Sawfish on its final departure, while he spent the final days with Ava at her peaceful farm, where they could leave life together.

    • @mrbeankate
      @mrbeankate ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not so sure. That might of "buried the headline" by overemphasizing the romance aspect of the film instead of focusing on the hopelessness (which was the point). Loved the symbolism of the submarine surfacing at the start of the movie and then descending into the ocean at the end.

    • @allanfifield8256
      @allanfifield8256 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      That's the approach the later Australian remake took. I think it was a real mistake and a "soft" ending. Gregory Peck has to go with his men. He loves her, but he needs the respect of his men more.

    FUN FACT : Ava Gardner did not say ,,,"Melbourne was the perfect place to make a film about the end of the world",,, the author of the "quote" was in fact a writer for the Sydney Morning Herald, Neil Jillett, who recently admitted that the quote was fabricated. He was writing a piece about the filming at the time, and attributed the quote to Gardner out of spite for Melbourne getting some attention in the "spotlight", something Sydneysiders do not like.
