Movies and Films
This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>Ken:
I'm not sticking up for Hollywood's historically bad movies, but way back in 1946 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced "THE SECRET LAND"..........
The movie did not have cast, per se, but everyone in it was a star in his own right. It's a great true story, but the video is hard to find.
The actual footage (75 minutes) was narrated by CDR. Robert Montgomery, USNR; LT. Robert Taylor, USNR; and LT. Van Heflin,
AAF (Ret). (None of these actors appear in the film)
It won the 1947 Academy Award for "Best Documentary."
Some excerpts from the film are shown at: [thule.org]
I hold a VHS video copy of this controversial operation.</HTML>
