After the attack on Pear Harbor, a former Naval officer who had deserted because of gambling debts, rejoins under a fictitious name as a chance for redemption.
My dad went into the navy served on the phaon a r b 3 repair ship. From 1943 to 1945 fixed everything from motor cycles to battle ship followed the fleet to Tokyo root door. He said none of hischild hood friends came home they all served on different ships to win victory ✌ 🙌 😏 😉 👏 thanks to all
"I am so hungry I could eat anchor chain" is one phrase this Chief will not forget from this movie!
In 1990 my father paid for my mother, sister, me( also younger daughter) and niece from Tennessee were fortunate to fly to Hawaii on island 🌴 of Oahu island and went to see the memorial where Pearl Harbor was. We had an amazing time. It was so beautiful and we loved it and had taken so many beautiful pictures. Absolutely beautiful!!! I’ve seen a lot of movies about Pearl Harbor and it was such a sad and terrible thing. I’ve always loved watching every movie about army and other movies . My dad was in the air force and my husband was in the army.
It's movies like this that guys would watch, then when it was over they would go straight to a recruiter.
My grandpa was in the Navy from 1943 to 1945 on a mine sweeper called the USS Pigeon. MIne sweepers were named after birds. He only had to shave once a week to pass inspection. Sailed out of Norfolk. While he was away my grandma cheated on him with his best friend. It tore his guts out with grief. They were getting ready to invade the Japanese when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It probably saved his life. One night he was out on deck alone, he kept seeing something white in the sky. When his eyes adjusted he realized he was looking up at the waves. He went inside and went right to bed, realizing he could have been swept overboard and no one would have even known it. He made it back, along with his two brothers who were sent to Germany in the Army.
Those are some amazing details, I notice they interviewed these courageous men to have a final record of their experience, GR8ST Generation by a mile
Your grandma was a whore.

It was nice to see Robert Mitchum and Dub Taylor In their early years in pictures :)
My father was in the Navy. He worked as a floor sweeper.
No floors in the Navy...deck sweeper, Ross.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Such great memories watching these old movies with my father back in the day!
"Here , hold dat on 'im"! Lol!
Really had fun watching this.
We like old war movies, yes we do.
Agreed.
Hope to see more
We used to shoot at the mines.
The captain said that if we kept on missing he would order us to fix bayonets and charge.
I.like your Captain's sense of humor!😁
@@leilal8053 My Dad was wounded shooting the mines -- blew up --shrapnel in the back -- SS Caper -- Bering Straight
My CO in boot camp was a sweeper, man he was nuts.
Back when even deserters loved America.

Am a Pizza Flix neophyte - Came across this while almost finishing a piece on political corruption in the #Caribbean, so for relaxation & inspiration decided to watch this flick. May the sauce be with me. :-)
Richard Arlen made lots of movies. Like this one, they were all good.
He also did some silent ones. This one is one of my favorite Arlen movies
Richard Arlen is best known for his role in "Wings" (1927), which also won the first Academy Award for Best Picture.
One of my ex-late-brothers-in-law was named after him, as was his son, my ex-late-nephew-by-marriage. Ironic, because Richard Arlen was not his real name. He had an impressively long career, from the silent era into the sixties.
those bolt action springfield rifles were great for sniping and shooting mines

While stationed in Charleston, I worked at the Mine Sweeper base. We also serviced subs.

This is a ok movie .definitely a B movie.if the studio would have put big money in this in 70mm color with most of the same actors it would have been epic.
I just watched a show about John Wayne's converted minesweeper yacht, added a little extra spice to watching this show.
you see the painting as you come on boat,of him holding a coffee mug?I have one of 150prints of that painting,mine is a proof
the Wild Goose is the name of his ship
@@stephenreno7909 I saw the WILD GOOSE, (John Wayne's boat)she was laid up in San Pedro. best regards, from South Wales UK.
Then there was Ernest Hemingway Sub Chasing...
As a recruitment movie, it fails to make me want to join the navy and work in mine disposal.
These comments display a misunderstanding of our American culture of 100 years ago, or even 50 or 20 years ago. The phrase "death before dishonor" actually meant something. It meant that if one had dishonored oneself, as this officer did by his desertion, it would take tremendous superhuman effort for him to rehabilitate himself, not only in the minds of his comrades but primarily in his own mind. With this in his mind, his desertion could not be erased just by re-enlisting, it required a sacrifice.
This is something that people nowadays apparently do not understand.
Respect
seem a bit unwise to join the navy though if a deserter from the navy! Army, Army Airforce or Marines (or CG) as it wasnt that huge at that time and deserters at officer level are hardly low profile
It's bullshit.
Interesting. Maybe that motto needs to be one our politicians should follow.
speak for yourself
My dad in WW2 was a radar operator on a minesweeper during the war USS SEER 112
My dad was WW2 minesweeper USS Tumult in the Pacific
Hi, Larry: My Dad was 30yr vet (1937-1967) USN, and was a Chief Radioman at Iwo. I didn't know it until 2008 when I got his records. He died in 1972 when I was 26 and never said a word about WWII. He took our whole Family to live in Izmir, Turkey (1953-1955) because he was assigned there and I wouldn't trade THAT experience for anything especially because we flew there from Chicago via prop plane and returned via USN ship - wow! I've been ON the Atlantic in a huge STORM at age 9! We love our Dads!
@@MargaretWalkerCellist
My dad was in the Pacific and the fleet got caught in a huge storm, that storm damage a few ships one was a carrier that had the flight deck damaged from the waves.
Great movies thanks for the upload
mark r pa I hope people remember how many brave men and women have surrendered their lives 4 this country and in there defense to continue our freedom and way of life we could have taken over the world, but we r not like hitler stalin mussalini or japan nuff said
Funny how people who hate America are always running off at the mouth about the US wanting to take over the world....if we had wanted to we could have several times. Yet they still keep saying that even though we have always left after the fighting was over.
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Pretty good movie, it didn't end like I figured.
I served on an MSO, Minesweep, Ocean, during Vietnam.
All non-magnetic materials, wood hull, etc.
A decent movie. I liked it.
It looked like the Navy Man that was shooting the mines at the end of the film was using a bolt action Springfield instead of an M1 Garand. Must have given The Navy all the hand me downs. Good Movie and thanks for another great show!!
The Springfield was a better sniping rifle.
A friend of mine's father served on a minesweeper in the Pacific. I was told that once they swept the mines and cut them adrift, sharpshooters from the crew would try to detonate the mines using the old '03s because, being a bolt-action, they were a little bit more accurate than a Garand.
Being I was a Radarman I obviously didn't know what the hell I was talking about. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Makes perfect sense now!
In all fairness mines dont require semi auto firepower and 03 Springfields are more accurate.
Dad carried one in 1953 on Guam. The M1903A3 was a far better rifle for when you only were interested in one shot firing while the M1 was more for when you had to shoot a lot of shots rather rapidly. The M1903/M1903A3 will beat you more than the M1 does though as the M1's action absorbs some of the recoil. The Navy got M1903s new and also M1903A3s when they became available. In WW I, due to the shortage of M1903s, the Navy even contracted for training rifles. They were made by US Training Rifle company. In WW II, again there was a shortage and they contracted with Paris-Dunn for more M1903 training rifles. I have all 5 Navy types including the Mark V version made by the Navy from real M1903A3s.
Fixit was a good egg.
My Father was in the Navy 1941 to 1945.
ok boomer
Did anyone notice the cameo by Robert Mitchum as one of boat crew that was blow up at the mine?
He made several cameos in wartime films including training films.
He also showed up in line when everyone was getting their shots.

There have not been Naval Cadets at the academy since 1902.
Students are Midshipman.
Graduates are ensigns and have been for long before WWII.
The system of being a Passed Midshipman after graduation ended long ago
Fine example of film genre known as flag wavers.
Be a navy diver ? NO THANK YOU !!!! I was a deck ape. It suit me fine.
Good movie!
The sailor with Fixit at 23.30 is Robert Mitchum
Dub Taylor too.
And the Captain at 55:17 is Will Wright, who used to show up on the old Andy Griffith show as Ben Weaver, the department store owner.
I'm seeing that at 25:50.
Picked up in the middle and turned out to very good.(ls)
Is that a Hotchkiss revolving Cannon on Display at 12 mins 30 secs ? Nice movie Thank you .
It sure is. Thanks, I missed it the first time through.
Was that Robert Mitchum who the other sailor who died in the explosion at 26:59?
Good movie ❗
Hull number 275 = USS Pirate (AM 275)
Look out for young Robert Mitchum as an extra.
Yeah, you'll see him at about 25:50, rowing a boat.
I thought that was him at front of line when guys getting physicals.
He's also tying knots @ 19:48!
I was about to ask if that was Robert Mitchum and then saw that I was too late...by about 3 years.
I thought that was him! Too bad he went up with that mine...
1970 on top hill Attapeu near Ho Chi Minh trail Laos , I used M-16 shoot grenade M-67 I plant for booby traps away front of my bunker during fire fight with NVA at night
What an odd movie. Our "hero", at the end, dies. Usually, for a past misdeed or error of judgement, the "hero" gets to redeem himself with an act of heroism. Of course, in this film, he gets redeemed, posthumously.
That redemption was they "Guy Code" back then. Even your typical Super heros follow the same guy code.
It seems that every time they have anything to do with diving in a navy film someone gets hung up in a net or a rope. my question is how did the sub get close enough to lay the minds in the first place, where was th3 ASW patrol ships. not a bad movie.
Good movie, but I was hoping Fixit would survive :)
Oh, you just ruined for me!
@@johntuttle4486 Sorry. After a year, I forgot what this comment was even in relation to. Google never forgets does it. They are like the Nazi's, keeping perfect records of their crimes. Just an observation.
Long as the Halls made of something other than metal direct contact is the only way to set off but mine in the ocean with their built-in with radar or sonar today's technology most ships would go boom
Robert mitchum killed in the first half hour? Unusual.
This movie was released in 1943, in middle of war? Not sure an error or not, but didnt watch say "Ensign Houston, Naval Academy, graduation 1932"? Im not sure for '32, but the way it use to work Naval Cadets werd NOT commissioned as Ensigns upon graduation. They became "midshipmen", who then served aboard ships to get more training and experience, for some 2 more years, then then might get commissioned an Ensign. But it was not guaranteed. Unlike how they have been doing it for several decades now. Where cadets ARE commissioned at graduation from Academy. But my father was a "90 day wonder". He went to OCS at Princeton and was commissioned an Ensign, in 1942.
AUCUNS FILMS N'EST EN FRANÇAIS ni sous-titre pour les malentendants
C désolant de devoir passer des bons films
Did I see Robert Mitchum in the line for shots at 15:00 ?
Didn’t they have scuba gear at this time? Can you stay down longer in that gear?
Nope (ish) they did have rebreather systems but these were fairly limited in depth. SCUBA using air from tanks and venting the expelled gas into thw water was (basically) a mid 50s invention.
Even afeter the war re-breathers were preffered, by the military, as they didn't 'bubble'.
With air supplied from the surface the only limits are man-made(toilet, feeding, fatigue etc)
Depth is the reason that they use hard suits water pressure increases rapidly as you dive, as well as the limitations mentioned in the previous comment. Even if you scuba dive and go vertical in the water you can feel the difference in pressure from your chest to abdomen on your lungs!
how the hell did i get here
Hey what's going on? You don't end movies like that! What a waste of a good character. I'm sure most people were rooting for him. This is @#$¢€ ™£¢%$# (nonsense). That's what I think the ending was. Especially with a good girl like that. Everyone deserves a second chance & a third & a fourth... as long as the heart's in the right place. You don't throw a whole life because things didn't work out. No sir! Everything's rigged in our favour more than we know. It just needs some waiting on the Man working for us Upstairs. ✌
Japan had mine laying subs.
What a stinker of an ending 🤭
That's war?
That was a disappointment

You call this action?
USS GULL
This filmed displays the fear at the time. I don't believe the Japanese had any ships with the ability to lay mines in or near our harbors. Yet, this film shows Jap mines as being a constant and growing threat with constantly improving mines. Such was not the case.
Mine laying subs.
There were several classes of Japanese Minelayers that saw a good deal of use in the Philippines. I suspect if you goggle instead of drink beer, you will find other references
Given how hard the battle of the Atlantic went, understandably they'd want to be prepared all the better in advance for the Pacific

A Democrat got educated on a train!!!!!!!!, damn shame what we have become, still, seeing a snowflake getting busted, way back when,,,, classic
boy you're a chump
Most people were Democrats in 1930's and 1940's. That's how FDR got elected 4 times. The greatest generation who fought in WW2 were mostly Democrats. Rich fat cats and war profiteers were Republicans. It's raining MAGA tears.
whos the offended snowflake here?
