    James Franciscus, 1970. The production/ cinematography is superb. When they were still trying to make the images clearer, instead of the current trend of making every shot murky, dark, and fuzzy so they don’t have to produce good imagery. This reminds me of the early bond films in many ways.

      James Franciscus was very handsome and a pretty decent actor! In all the war movies, especially the older black and white movies, the English always threw in a snobbish remark against the American soldiers. One thing I liked is, the Americans never retaliated when they produced their war movies and Englishmen were included, which showed maturity!❤

    Thanks for posting this good movie! According to the closing credits, it was actually filmed in Malta. I like that scenic realism. The personal troubles of the characters was also realistic. The movie makers also didn't sugar coat the battle scenes. Characters got hurt and killed on both sides. This movie was well done, but without any unneeded extra stuff.😊 My eyes are very light sensitive, so I have the brightness on my tablet set to about halfway. This is usually enough, but I should have made it brighter for this movie, as the nighttime sea scenes were too dark on the halfway setting. At least I didn't have to watch it on my smart phone's tiny screen. That thing died at the beginning of February. After discussing things with my computer geek brother, I got a 10 inch tablet with one of those rugged kid covers. We both feel that anything smaller wouldn't be as nice a viewing size, and anything bigger would be awkward and clunky to handle. It's great for watching any kind of movie, including old war movies like this one. Alright, alright, for those who may be curious, the kid cover is a nice tropical blue.😂

      A. Sunk an American aircraft carrier.
      B. Sunk an American destroyer.
      C. Damaged an American battleship so badly, that it had to slowly crawl back to the U.S., to lick its wounds.

    I found the gun battle on the island ludicrous. The way they were waving those sub-machine guns around you would think they thought they were magic wands. If they were twenty feet away they would be lucky to hit a barn door. Instead they were 50 feet or more. You can fire from the hip, but it must be a stable hold. Recoil alone would knock the gun into the air from the way they manoeuvred. Did they really have an armourer and adviser for this film? Whats with the model boats they used in some of the scenes? They obviously did it on the cheap.

      However, 45:53 - 46:01, how refreshing to see American commando Jeffords' resourcefulness when he strips a magazine from the dead Nazi soldier's submachinegun immediately after removing his gun's depleted magazine. [How SLOPPY and CARELESS of the sound effects editor who includes the sound of the metal of the empty magazine hitting the hard cement
      but not metal-on-metal with the insertion / reloading.]
      Realistically, in addition to the UNLIMITED rounds of available ammo, I'll wager in a real firefight like we see here -- repeatedly -- the indiscriminate 'spraying' of a full magazine's capacity from left to right, up and down, ALL OVER -- repeatedly -- would have been replaced with wise, deliberate SHORT BURSTS of well aimed shots..

      The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy.
      That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)

    If you like PT Type boats I highly recomend two books published by Squadron. Schnell Boats in Action and PT Boats in Action. Very informative. Lots of detail, pictures and color schemes. Both out of print but could possibly be found or ordered through used book store. Worth it.

    I never knew what an "E Boat" was until just two days ago. The "E Boats" were all electric U Boats that could charge their batteries via a snorkel at periscope depth, and could stay submerged for many days. If the Germans had mass produced these Boats, they would have won the war. They were much more expensive than the regular Type VII C Boats were. They could dive deeper, and run faster submerged than any other subs could.

    • @KevinMaxwell-o3t
      @KevinMaxwell-o3t 16 днів тому

      E-boats were as you see in this old movie. The Germans called them S-Boats (Schnellboote, or 'fast boats'). All diesel-electric submarines, on all sides, in WW2 could charge their batteries at periscope depth and remain submerged for days if necessary.
      Yes, Germany did build 118 advanced type 21 diesel-electric U-boats, each with a pair of MAN diesel engines and three times the usual battery capacities. They were optimized for operation submerged, but they were still just diesel-electrics. This new class arrived too late, but no matter. As we had cracked their naval codes we were sinking them as fast as they hit the Atlantic. We sank most of the German submarine fleet and, in total, killed about 30,000 German submariners. The majority simply vanished, ambushed by patrol aircraft.

    Wow...I saw this as a CBS movie of the week back in the 70s, when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I thought it was so great back then. (I remember this well because we couldn't say "hell" in my house.) But, looking at it 50 years later, it is painfully primitive, low budget filmmaking. Lots of rear projection screen shots...along with enough plastic model work to make a Godzilla movie! Still...it was a kick seeing it after all these years.

      HS=293 was not a glide bomb. It was a rocket powered miniature plane with radio control. It only took the Brits a few months to figure out how it worked and jam the radio signals.
