| ♥♥♥♥♥ | One hunk of a man. Deceased too early in life. |
| I don't own it yet, however, I am going to; soon as I can get it from Amazon. I gave it 5 stars back when I first saw it and I still do. I first saw it way back in 1956 or 1957. Those were the last 2 years I spent any time in my home town. After we started our family, I kept our "home fires burning" in whichever port his ship was stationed. I remember one of those was the year I saw the movie, because I was visiting my home town while my husband was "Away" on his boat(ship). At the time, it gave me lots of fear and concern about my husband, because it was so realistic. I saw it with my best girlfriend I grew up with. I loved it except for it causing me to worry. I sat and cried all the way through the movie, but I loved it because I loved Jeff Chandler, and of course I related him with my husband. My girlfriend kept telling me "It's just a movie it's not going to happen to Sam." I have seen it on TV several times when one could still catch a good old movie on AMC and TCM. I was thinking the ship was a minesweeper, however, I'm probably wrong since it has been so long since I've seen it. My husband was on a minesweeper when I saw it and those ships are nicknamed "big splinters" because if they were to take a bomb or hit one of the mines, there'd be nothing left but splinters due to the fact they were made mostly of wood in order to sweep mines out of the way to make a safe path for bigger fighting ships. They couldn't be made of any material that would set off a mine or bomb on themselves. So there is something in that movie that I'm not remembering for it to have put that fear into me. I'll find out when I get the movie and watch again.
I thought it was a great movie. And yes, Jeff Chandler was great in everything. If he just hadn't passed away at such an early age (34 if my memory serves me)how many more great movies he could have made. And oh yes, my husband served on 3 different minesweepers in addition to 5 other types So now, in addition to purchasing nearly all of Amazon's CDs, here I am starting on movies. Oh well, it gives me something to do. |
