Featured review
The cinema version.
Anyone seeing this film today will not feel the impact that it had back in 1954 when it was first released. In those days much of the newsreel content was being shown for the first time. Here in the UK I can remember some film critics saying how they were moved to tears by some of the scenes. The part where the Pardre is giving the last rites to the dying sailor on the deck of an aircraft carrier comes to mind. As stated, much of the film stock has been shown repeatedly in later war documentaries so losing much of it's impact. I've not seen this film for many years but it will always remain in my memory. Rodgers "Beneath The Southern Cross" became "No Other Love" and was a big hit of the time.
