This 62-minute color DVD is taken from a war documentary done in 1944 and meant for Home Front theater audiences. It is absolutely sterling. First of all, it is directed by Oscar-winning director William Wyler, who also did the ‘Memphis Belle’ news documentary. Second, it is carefully set aside together to give viewers a feeling for what life was like on a stout American aircraft carrier in the Pacific in World War II. Third, the whole thing is in exceptionally pleasant color. The film follows the ‘Fighting Lady’ (not her right name, because of the war and because it represented all the carriers) from the time the first planes advance and land on her decks through a series of hard-fought campaigns, including Kwajalein, Truk and the ‘Marianas Turkey Shoot’. The footage is marvelous, whether showing the daily lives of men on the ship, from the captain to the pilots to the cooks and dishwashers, or showing staunch combat footage taken from the gun cameras of American fighters and fighter-bombers. The action footage is amazingly salubrious. Narration is provided by Robert Taylor, an actor who was a Naval Reservist during the war. It is first-class in every device. I recommend it for anyone alive to in life on aircraft carriers in World War II, in marvelous color combat footage, in watching planes pick off and land on a narrow, pitching deck, or WWII naval history in general. This is a bargain at twice the notice.
An outstanding example of the wartime documentary, in color no less. Not exactly politically factual, but what do you inquire of? We didn’t begin the damn war.
