I have this in my collection but never need to use the disc since it's on TCM or AMC all the time. It gets better with each viewing. I saw another Otto Preminger movie with James Stewart this weekend (Anatomy of A Murder). The two movies had a great deal in common. I'm talking specifically about the way they were photographed. The look and feel of a movie is extremely important to me. These two movies were photographed with such incredible realism that I feel as though I could step into them. I love that.

This was on TCM last night. For the first time I was struck by the political backstabbing and double crossing going on.
And Kirk Douglas had a great line about "I think maybe someone else got in there ahead of him..."
And Neal Owynn is a sphincter.

Greetings All,I just added this one to my DVD collection on Monday....can't wait to see it and experience the entire sound field. The letterboxed versions are best since you get to see what the director intended. I love everything about this one.

I love the scene where JW is drinking a Coca-Cola while talking to the Penguin....I mean Mick.....no, wait...I mean Commander Egan Powell...Burgess Meredith. What a great picture of America.....John Wayne and Coca-Cola.
Collecting certain Coca-Cola items means as much to me as John Wayne.

While I thought the movie was very good, I did feel it had a few weak spots, such as the battle at Pearl Harbor, some of the scenes of Japanese ships going through the ocean, and Kirk Douglas' character (a real jerk!
).The most enjoyable memory I have of this movie was the interaction between Patricia Neal and JW. The movie gave the appearance that they were made for each other.
Both Deep Discount DVD and Amazon have this movie, for about the same reasonable price.

I agree with the comments regarding the chemistry between Duke and Patricia Neal. The Duke is a true gentleman and Patricia Neal is indeed a lady. People could learn something about how to treat others by watching these two.
