Customer Reviews

“Barbara Bouchet, a new face and a new body,” Otto Preminger

This movie is enjoyable on many levels. Right off, you know it is a John Wayne movie. It is bound to have some John Wayne formula and actors that he works with in other movies. Add to this a cast not just of names, but actors that have a following in their own right. Now you have some great material to work with. Throw in Director Otto Preminger, who directed “Laura” (1944) (see my review) and many other fine films. Add an intriguing story. It almost feels like two films. The first part is set before the war, focusing on navy life and the Eddingtons (Kirk Douglas and Barbara Bouchet). The second part takes place after the war begins, with numerous subplots to explore. Still, I appreciated the storyline where Captain Rockwell Torrey (John Wayne) reconnects and builds a relationship with his son, Ensign Jeremiah 'Jere' Torrey (Brandon De Wilde). You get the entire DVD goodies that make them worthwhile. This includes (Original making-of In Harm's Way) I do not want to leave you with the idea that this is some sort of artsy Movie. It is a war film with fast ships “going in harm's way".
