Excellent movie. I live a mile from the battle location in Hampton, VA, in a development called Merrimac Shores. Of course, the Confederates changed the name of the ship to CSS Virginia. All the streets in the neighborhood are named after aspects in the movie: Buchannan, Porter, Ericcson, Congress, Cumberland, Chesapeake, and Catesby Jones. The Monitor sunk during a hurricane off NC in 1863. The Monitor's restored gun turret is on display at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News.
I saw this movie in the show in early 40,s and completely forgot the love story in it also the boarding never took place but I remember all the kids in the show cheering when they won ( it was in Chicago )
IMDb shows this movie to be 1 hour and 12 minutes. So at less than 53 minutes quite a bit has been lost. Hopefully an intact original is available to one day be restored. Thanks for the opportunity to see this film.
What a great old classic! Great story, wonderful acting,THE BEST ACTING ,IF YOU TRY HARD YOU CAN LET IT TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ALL YOUR WORRIES AND PROBLEMS,! God Bless and thank you for posting for free .🙏❤️🇨🇦
What a wonderful movie! The horror of friends forced to fight each other made the Civil War the saddest chapter in our nation's history. Putin should be forced to watch this movie, although I doubt if he would understand the message.
