Review of In Harm's Way (1965) by Jack N — 29 Nov 2008
Preminger is under appreciated now, today's audiences are far more sophisticated, however, this movie was a great example of breaking convention, dealing in real terms with the human drama of war, and was a great vehicle for Wayne to transition to older characters in movies.
There's not much romanticizing of the Navy either. It's bureacratic, ideological, and slow to adapt. It's a great movie because it's underrated, but also because it's made in the early 1960's, before everything was put in front of a camera.
Preminger is pure genius.
