Read the book in HS 50+ years ago, and it's still one of my favorite books. The movie was pretty faithful to the book, and Montgomery Clift looked just like I imagined Prewitt in the book.
The movie is great, and I’m definitely going to have to read the book! It sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing your memories, it truthfully means a lot!
One of the best movies I have ever seen. In fact I saw it several times.The US Army would only cooperate after the storyline was changed. In the book captain Holmes got away with his behavior. Best wishes from Amsterdam.
Hi ToastyHistorian here (On an alt) This is a very good video, Only thing that bugs me is how at 2:22 in they use american planes for Japanese plane. Then again those zeros were hard to come by.
Wow! I didn’t realize that the set directors utilized the incorrect planes! However, back then, getting the accurate planes and such was hard to come by.
Montgomery Clift made this movie great! Three best actor nominations along with one supporting nomination in his mere seventeen film career and you didn't manage to mention him in your opening lineup. Bad mistake.
I agree! I would have mentioned him in my opening lineup, but at the time of recording, I wasn’t aware of Clift’s accolades and only mentioned what I surmised to be the more “recognizable” names.
@@Figsetc If you love films, most definitely learn about Montgomery Clift, a monumental talent and an actor who ushered in the modern more "realistic" emotional style actors aspire to today. From his first films, 1948's "The Search" and "Red River," he brought what he called "truthful" acting to the American screen. He was also a major heartthrob until his automobile accident in 1956 that left him with an altered facial appearance and a serious addiction to pain killers & alcoholism. His story is pretty damn heartbreaking, dramatic and he is a giant of American acting. Daniel Day Lewis, for one, identifies him as a favorite and inspiration.
This film is marvelous, I love it, still, the book is better... I had read it three months ago, and believe me, it worthed all the time I spent reading this jewel of the American literature.
@@johnz7239Well, I will say this. I am not of the generation that this or other classic movies were released from. However, I do watch and genuinely enjoy these movies as I have gained nearly encyclopedic knowledge of this time period. I hope my lack of firsthand experience doesn’t affect the quality of the videos.

What is your favorite aspect of this grand film?
My favourite aspect of this film is when Karen said Good Bye to Milt Warden, so sad but at the same way so realistic, mature and even elegant.
This movie still means "A whole lot".......to millions worldwide!
Well, I’m glad to hear that! In the region where I live, popularity has diminished, but I’m glad to hear it’s thriving elsewhere!
I remember this movie from when I was a kid!
Yes, this film is iconic!

Oh, I didn’t know Holmes wangled in the book! Thanks for the comment!

The film is great! I’m going to have to read the book, though. I’ve heard that it’s really good.
How old are you?
Why would that be of importance?
@@Figsetc I was wondering if you actually have a first hand experience with this and other similar movies of the time...

@@Figsetc What I meant was enjoyment rather than knowledge.
@@johnz7239 Oh I still enjoy the content, believe me! I cover classic movies because it’s what I enjoy.
