Description, 15 March 2009
10/10
Author: Douglas Gordon from United States

Very realistically produced film. Diffifult, if not impossible to find.

Anyone who knows anything about WWII will appreciate this film and the subject matter.

It's in black and white and it's a gem of a classic. A "Must Have" for any one who enjoys film based upon fact.

This film also describes the plight and feelings of the wives of military personal who are overseas and the impact the separation has on them as well as for the soldier, sailor or Marine.

This film also depicts real-life production of ships during WWII and the speed with which the American people came together to rally behind their servicemen.
