In Harm's Way -- Captain Rockwell & Maggie Haynes 

I liked the scene where Rockwell Torrey calls Egan Powell on the telephone line and has him bunk out for the night, and after Egan says he can do that, Rockwell hangs up, looks at his favorite nurse and asks “Maggie?” She smiles up at him, toes off one of her shoes, and the screen fades to black. Now that’s some good filmmaking. The audience understood in 1965 that there was going to be some serious lovemaking without having it spelled out. This is one of my favorite scenes from an epic movie.

Another underrated film. Great ensemble cast, and Patricia Neal had a certain sex appeal. Another brilliant soundtrack from Jerry Goldsmith.

I liked that this was made in black and white. Gives it the feel of a good old "The Duke" movie.

One of my all-time favorite movies

John Wayne always looks good in a uniform 🙂

One of the best movies ever filmed

just a great movie John Wayne he was great xxxx

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for In Harm's Way. On a certain level it's not very good. But I do like how it's more a drama than a war movie. Maybe even a soap opera. But John Wayne handles himself real well just playing a naval officer dealing as much with human issues as with fighting a war.

John Wayne looks great in Navy SDW

Love how they said so much by simply having Maggie take off her shoes.

Wonderful scene!

Patricia Neal...wow

Pat was SO "southern sultry;" not the hottest thing going just based on model looks (though she wasn't chopped liver) but, man, she looks like she knew her way around a man, in several ways...in a wholesome sort of sensual way, that is. She looks like she wouldn't mind being in charge from time to time...always nice.

Rock was smooth!

looks like Maggie gonna get a hug from Rock ...all about that ....❤❤

Great scene!

This was more pleasing and erotic than all of the garbage passing as "love scenes" today. Style, class and pizzazz in the good 'ole days....

Rock & Maggie have an interest in each other, both had father’s who were career military, had marriages that didn’t just work right & both are mature.

The Duke and Patricia Neal were so good together in this movie one of John Wayne best loved watching it with my dad still enjoy watching it today

A lot of heat generated between these two.

My Grandmother looked a lot like Patricia Neal. Very strong, understanding woman and no nonsense, too! Yet a very caring and loving woman. God, she let me do things and get away with things my parents never would!

Patricia Neal later said that in their earlier movie together, _Operation Pacific_ , Wayne had been going through a nasty divorce, and was very irritable. By the time of _In Harm's Way_ , he was happily married to his third wife, and was much more mellow.

she was quite forward for the day

I like how this movie touches the social realities of a country at war This scene is written brilliantly

I remember this scene, but sadly, here, whoever is in charge of the sound fouled up badly. Can't hear it even with my volume on my computer turned to highest setting and brand new batteries in my hearing aids.

My dad, joined at 17 was a boiler tender, (two bronze stars), was on the USS Libra in the Pacific. He never knew where the ship was.. He was on a landing craft duty, picking up the pieces of the dead marines on the beach. . After that experience, he acquired a rating and spent the rest of the war below decks, hoping not to get torpedo. The Libra was a beautiful ship, former a merchant marine vessel. It was much better than the liberty ship he spent half the war on. Later, he became the first Senior Chief in the Navy, retired as Master Chief. Patricia Neal, one of kind.

Wow. This is from a time when most of the United States was respectable and wasn't out of their minds.' It must have been a cool time to be alive!

Always thought that Patricia's raspy voice was kinda sexy.

Not Captain Rockwell. Captain (later Admiral) Rockwell Torrey.

always heard that they moved that cabin from the point near CPO housing area on Ford Island near where the old USS Tennessee was tied up on 12/7. Then, for reasons I don't know, they moved this cabin from there to the nearby (on same tiny island) "Nob Hill" neighborhood where naval officers lived then and in 1965 and now. Those houses were built in the '20s and I bet they were all occupied for filming, or Preminger just felt those houses were a bit too much for the transient nature of Rock's situation that he may have been trying to convey. Anyway, interesting stuff and I'm not sure if the cabin is still there of it was moved back. It must be somewhat out of place! See a book entitled "The Children of Battleship Row," for insight into neighborhood in year, months and days leading up to attack. Fascinating , brief book written by 70-yr old in 2000 about her waking up on 12/7 and lounging on lanai, at age 10, when attack began...and she lived in home (then called "Quarters T") 300 yards from USS Tennessee! Her dad was a major in charge of Ford Island security.

Patricia Neal s best part, and this scene is in many ways the sexiest movie scene of all time.

His name was Rockwell Torrey

3:16 It's Mickey and "Rock" again

Plug me Rock!

I'm happy to see that this movie has so many fans. It's a great movie. Who wrote the screenplay? Fiction inspired by actual events. I love WWII history. I'd like to read the novel that was used to adapt the screenplay.

Capt. Rockwell Torrey...

“Look at me…I’m John Wayne…The costume department set me up with these great Navy whites….whadda ya think?”

An excellent book, movie was good but the book was better.

Love to have that model A convertible.

Wow... John Wayne just called-in a literal Booty Call. And the look on his face he throws at soon-to-be-very-sore Maggie after he hangs up is what we call in the Lit world as, "foreshadowing". Not really, but the joke fits. Get er' done, Mister Wayne! BTW... Patrica Neal had bad posture in this scene.

Another movie Duke should have won an Oscar what's that like 5 or 10? Hollywood really screwed him with only 1.

It’s Captain Rockwell Torrey

I know cars were all metal back then, but I always thought he was rough on that door....

I get pissed when somebody slams my car door closed. He almost ripped it off.

No 20 something shit, this is mature people in a horrific situation not of their making, knowing that they could be gone without warning..

Dam I want to see the movie now

He's so wonderfully toxic.

Great real movie, not this computer generated all action and no acting of this sad age in movies for the most part.

2:44 John Wayne looks like LBJ

Is that what they call toxic masculinity now?

Is she the maid from Hud?

I don't understand. Why does she take off her hat and her shoes at the end of the scene? Am I missing something? :))))

This movie was made about ten years too late.

takes her shoes off with her toes SEXY

And why is a CAPT addressing a LT by her first name.
