Henry Fonda's unnamed "CincPAC" Admiral character with a southern accent is supposed to be Admiral Chester Nimitz, who was of German descent, born and raised in Fredericksburg, Texas. Henry Fonda played Adm Nimitz again 10 years later in the 1976 "Midway".

It's a shame that no one has ever made a really good movie about the battle at Leyte gulf. It's the most amazing sea battle of modern times. It was no less lopsided than the Spartans facing the Persian army at Thermopylae. Those pt boats, tiny obsolete destroyers and small transport carriers faced a monster fleet down. America win that battle because it's sailors fought like the third monkey in the gangway to the ark and it was starting to rain. The Japanese couldn't believe what they were seeing and believed they had fallen into an ambush so they turned around and retreated.

I've seen 'In Harms Way' probably 20 times. It is my favorite John Wayne WW-II movie, with 'They Were Expendable' being number two. When it comes to westerns, my favorite is a tie between 'Rio Lobo' and 'The Man who Shot Liberty Valance' as number one. In 3rd place it is also a tie, between ' True Grit' and 'The Undefeated'. Great movies all. For Henry Fonda, I would need a much longer list.

@garylogan3640 Год назад

Another great classic ww2 movie would be Go For Broke! the story of the 442 Regimental Combat Team, a unit of Nissei (Japanese American troops) the most decorated unit per time of service in the history of the US military. My two fave John Wayne ww2 movies are They Were Expendable (I really hope you do this one, it is one of my favourite classic ww2 movies) and this one, other good ones are The Fighting Seabees and of course Sands of Iwo Jima.... And yes you have to do The Pacific! It is not as single tracked as Band Of Brothers, mainly due to the fact that is was primarily done using 2 separate books, written by 2 different Marines, in 2 different units, while Band Of Brothers was based on 1 book written by an author using interviews of surviving members and regimental histories. Also, one of the actors portraying a Marine in The Pacific is a regular in the tv series Justified that you are presently doing.

@lawrencewestby9229 Год назад

The story is fiction but it was inspired by some actual events. The Skyhook operation was similar to the Solomon Islands campaign in 1942-43. One similarity is that in the real event the original admiral in command wasn't getting the desired results and was replaced by a more aggressive commander who turned things around. While the Solomons campaign did include several surface battles the final battle in the movie was most reminiscent of two actions in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Philippines in October of 1944. The minefield and PT boat attacks were from the Battle of Surigao Strait while the surface action was somewhat akin to the Battle off Samar where a small force of destroyers, destroyer escorts, and escort carriers took on a far superior Japanese force, including the battleship Yamato. The completely outclassed American task force fought so tenaciously that the Japanese admiral thought he was fighting a much larger force so he turned around and withdrew.

In Harm's Way was based on the book "Harm's Way" written by James Bassett who was the Public Affairs officer for Admiral Halsey during WW II. A former Newspaper editor, he was at Pearl Harbor having enlisted earlier in 1941 and was the PAO for Admiral Kimmell who was fired after the debacle at Pearl. The film features one of Jerry Goldsmith's best scores and a cameo by Goldsmith as the bandleader in the party scene which opens the film. Henry Fonda's passing resemblance to Nimitz as well as his naval service really made this movie. Kirk Douglas served as well as a destroyer officer and was injured in action and medically discharged.

The Yamato was destroyed by airpower eventually. The Japanese rarely used the massive battleship in combat because it was too expensive to operate. By the end of the war Japan was pretty low in the coffers and running short of resources.
