I really enjoy these old films...better than the new ones made today!
As a former 11B, I appreciate the Can Do attitude, the willingness to sacrifice oneself, and the leadership of the Captain
@@skorpio156 and I appreciate all 11Bs. I was one and an 11A.
As a Boomer whose Dad was a WWII Pacific Marine I love these movies. Ive always liked Cliff Robertson and it is a shame his career was often overshadowed by the plethora of big stars of his era.
Think I remember seeing Cliff Robertson in the 1970s Redford movie - Three Days of the Condor, though it is many years since I have seen that movie.
At the coral ,we sank a light carrier the Shoho.
Lost the Lexington .
However the invasion of Port Moseby and Australia was stopped.
At Midway , destroyed all 4 Japanese carriers which was the turning point of us gaining control of Pacific.
Another major Battle of Leyte Gulf allowed us the recapture the Philippines.
Battle of Midway was turning point of the Pacific War
Just fun to watch people-relax! All those old war movies are fun to watch.
I’m a former Navy jet carrier pilot…Top Gun wasn’t accurate but a fun movie. Some of my shipmates from VF-1 were in the movie.
Why is this called "battle of the coral sea"? Its just a movie about a prisoner camp.
Oh what a limited understanding ,and poor appreciation, of a dramatic composition offering that some persons possess.
The best this film could do is a quote from Public Relations officer John Bergen? "On May 18, 1942, was called to active duty. He was soon promoted to Commander and assigned to the Secretary of the Navy's office. After completing a course at the Naval War College, he reported to Commander Fleet Air, South Pacific. From December 1943 to March 1944 he served at the Naval Station Puget Sound. In April 1944 he was made Chief of Staff and Public Relations Officer to the Commandant of the Base. He was detached for terminal leave on August 27, 1944, and released on inactive status three months later."

@@robertlyness4883 The film’s “authority” with no combat experience.
Remember this film when a kid
All the crew who survived the loss of U.S.S. Lexington must have despised this abomination.
"Battle of the Coral Sea": 10% pre-battle submarine fanfiction, 85% POW schlock, 5% Battle of the Coral Sea (frenetically slamming models together in a bathtub).
This is good one and looking forward to it ❤
My uncle died in a prisoner of war camp in Singapore.
@phoebebrown2883…..To be a prisoner of the Rising Sun was not an enviable place to find oneself. I’m sorry for you and your family to lose your uncle this way. Was he Australian or British? Many thousands from those countries ended up POWs in those locales. Take care.
I consider your Uncle a hero, sir. Could you tell us his first name so those of us can say a prayer for him?
@@kabbey30 William (or Willie) I never met him he died before I was born. He is buried in Singapore.
@@barrierjohn6528 British. He is buried in Singapore.
thanks guys ... and gals
The Battle of Jutland in WW1 was even bigger than this battle!
Interesting movie. As a former submariner, I can say this film is the most technically inaccurate piece of fiction I've ever seen.
I agree. Wasn't the truth quite interesting enough?
But considering the year that it was made, what did you think of it?
😂😂
@@ooyginyardel4835"The Cruel Sea" was made a few years earlier. I know which I prefer.
Hollywood can do anything they want
Must have been a special on German MP40 sub machine guns for Japanese POW camp guards that history forgot to tell us.
Yeah, it was a special weapon exchange program.
Billy Jack (Tom Laughlin) 5:45 "Lieutenant, it just seems if the Navy wanted a periscope camera, they would have invented one."
thanks for the movie
Before he has the Captain of PT 109, he was the Captain of a submarine.
Scuba equipment wasn't invented till late in the war by the British / Americans the regulator was much later by the French man Jacque Custo
The Undersea world of Jacque Cuto 1966 - 1976 Mr Aqua - lung Mr Andrew TY for the Blast from the PAST BTW Mr Jacque Cuto passed 25th of June of 1997 at 87 the DUDE was a legend
Jacques Cousteau
I am glad you caught that, the Japanese never had it.
Wow very nice,I just found this channel 👍🇺🇸
An attempt to humanize the Japanese. Japan was now an ally. Depp mistrust and animosity still existed among the American people and military towards Japan. Something needed to be done to convince the public to forget the brutality of the Japanese solders towards the Allies. This was part of it.
How was this supposed to change anything?
@@redfields5070 It showed Japanese leadership as sane, rational and only willing to uses violence as a last resort. The Japanese military was still the "enemy" but it's leadership could be trusted. Just what the US wanted in 1959.
looks better than some present film movies.
Good Saturday afternoon mindless movie
"There is only one way this war can end Commander". Basically the truth even when America was off balance. Even Yamamoto knew they had Six months or a Year.
Love the "Get to the point commander you're wasting time" said by the prisoner to the warden. And hot girls at a Japanese prison camp.
That woman's reversal in fortitude, she went from being pushed where ever the world took her to commando.
Young Billy Jack!
America forced Japan to surrender via two Atomic Bombs detonated in the north western part of Japan. America had very recently perfected the Atomic bombs. Unfortunately Japan did not surrender after the first Atomic bomb exploded...so America was forced to drop the second Atomic bomb. After the second Atomic bomb exploded...Japan surrendered.
That was a great movie ... I love the black and white movies.
Not much submarine action. The movie switched to good old cowboys and Indians! That said it was quite an enjoyable movie.
And our New Zealand friends who fought with the sreening forces
They really didn't want to weigh down this movie with many facts. lol
great job
Do some research...! The "Battle of the Coral Sea" was between 4th - 8th May 1942. A simple Google search confirms this.
19:50 A young Mr. Sulu I believe seated on the right operating the radar.
Damn good catch you could be 100% correct it should look like him
Cliff Robertson...Mosquito Squadron/Too Late The Hero/Three Days Of The Condor.
US-Submarines. So important in WW 2 as italian tanks. 😂
Yep, torpedoes did not work till late 1943
This movie had nothing to do with the battle of the Coral Sea.
Time 9:54 - "Flashing Light" - sailors don't use the term "Blinker"
Why is that?
5 and 1/2 minutes in and I question whether they were allowed to SMOKE in a submarine?
Interestingly, the aqualung was not invented to until 50s as far as I know!
My dad was on the destroyer in the battle of the Coral Sea and Midway he join the military in 1939
Solid film. Thanks
A good mix of studio shots and real battle footage. Worth watching, bearing in mind it is a propaganda film.
this was a clear strategic victory for the allies. yes, in some sense it might be considered a "pyrrhic" victory ... except the us could replace losses, and japan couldn't.
日本語の字幕付きでお願いします。
Japanese military was not this good in any prison camp.
Ok, I watched 10 minutes and it’s too stupid to keep watching…. Sad.
14:30
there are some serious errors here, and in 1960, there was no good reason for this.
- the only carrier with a displacement of 38 kt was the KAGA
- shoho was a MUCH smaller carrier, only 1/4 as big.
- a japanese carrier division was only TWO carriers.
- there were THREE japanese carrier divisions in the pearl harbour attack.
and more
and again, at 81:40
ships involved included zuikaku, shokaku, and shoho, NOT "3 carriers of the shoho class". that's a REALLY BAD mistake.
i suppose, in those days, people like me (who know the material) did not exist, so there was no need to bother with small things like historical facts
and again, at 86:00
"all 3 of the largest enemy carriers were destroyed or disabled"
completely WRONG
Saved Australia my arse ,No mention of Pearl Harbour revenge 😊
I don't like Chop Suey !😂
"We need weapons." "I can't possibly do that. And you must tell me your new pronouns."
"But don't worry, you'll not be prosecuted for committing war crimes against the poor, and the military budget will continue increasing endlessly for you to enjoy."
Yep.
Why did they post 1959 across the screen?
So many things wrong with this movie. Rubbish, typical American how we won the war trash.
well in all fairness we did -:3
There was no "Battle of the Coral Sea".... a misleading title... 😡😡😡waste of time
Put your bong down. The Battle of the Coral Sea was fought from May 4, 1942 - May 8, 1942.
I watch later
Yes you were aloud to smoke
I like these movies, but the commercials every five minutes are too often. Maybe double them up every fifteen minutes to spare your viewers.
Heavily Hollywoodized. The battle footage in the last few minutes might even be real, but so much else is fantasy that I'm not sure.
1942 pretty sure their torpedoes' weren't working
Gasp! Cigarettes!
Showing the huge success of the tobacco industry in persuading millions to take up a potentially lethal and highly addictive product.
It’s a movie.
Why would they surface, pull out and inflate their own raft, paddle way the hell over to the other raft, put the people onto their raft, and paddle all the way back to the sub? Instead of just moving the sub right up to the raft? Now that made no sense at all. Then they lost the sub's raft.
Builds suspense. That’s how films were made then.
And what about this movie. May be you know the content but I do not know. Let’s see.
😊 my dad was 25 years in the Navy he was in world war II he was a 20 mm gun on a 10 can
Dumb part was when they shot the bag with the camera and pictures out the torpedo tube,, should had smash the camera and burnt the pictures on deck
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And actually Iam disappointed because whatever I see that is seen and analysed by the peer group.
Minute 11 Patty officers are always runs behind the money and officers are behind the career, Why?
Would a skipper risk his crew and ship, with many torpedoes, for a raft rescue?
Yes that was the standing order during the coral sea
@@edwardmyers8782 ok thanks I understand they would rescue in broad daylight and not wait for dusk. Surprisingly.
Was this movie written by Tramp ?
It's not a bad film . But what has it got to do with the coral sea ? . There's nothing from the battle in it. It's just a prison break film.
Pappy bouy ington
There’s someway that I can avoid having to see any more commercials with Barack Obama in every time I think about the fact that I voted for that guy in 2008 in 2012 because Union told me to do it I want to throw up my guts
Not a very good movie. There’s a reason why it wasn’t popular. If you don’t mind shallow characters, borrowed special effects, and holes in the plot you can sail a submarine through, you may enjoy it. Good luck!
This movie is misnamed.
I stopped watching this drivel at the point when the American commander refused to shake the hand of the obviously humane Japanese intelligence officer. The gung ho garbage in these old films is just so hard to watch.
The Japanese never attacked pearl harbor.
Balch DD 363 my dad was on a porter class destroy your leader like I said in the battle of the coral Seas Midway is Destroyer came into Pearl after Pearl was bombed it was with the aircraft carriers doing escort Duty
Usual cheesy hero worship movie.
Well i cant even say how far fetched this movie propaganda is. At least they didnt jack it up worse by chucking in a love story. Simply, dont waste your time with this no action movie.
I think these apres-WW2 1950-70 Hollywood "War Films" are disgusting... Hollywood at its absolute worst.
Too many errors to be historical
It’s Hollywood. Can you please make a more accurate movie.
A nasty fantasy, Nothing to do with The Battle of the Coral Sea. Rubbish
I’m sorry, but this film is utterly ridiculous and wholly unbelievable. Could only stand it for 20min. Someone else in the lead role would likely have been better than Cliff Robertson and possibly made it bearable; he always struck me as one trying to hard to be “cool” and taciturn in almost every role he played. Two thumbs diving down …
Bloody adds.
They could not have surfaced and positioned themselves further away from the raft?
Pretty cheap service picture. Best groomed sub mariners except for Cliffs moustache
This is garbage.
What an embarrassingly stupid movie.
And above all, where is the "Battle of the Coral Sea" in that movie ?..... Ah, OK, just at the end of the movie....
I guess I got my history mixed up a little bit. The Battle of the Coral Sea took place in early May 1942, one month before the Battle of Midway in early June 1942? I thought the Battle of Midway was the first thing that happened after Pearl Harbor, 6 months after Pearl Harbor. That was the beginning of the end for the Japs, they only had the upper hand on us for 6 months.
