In Harm's Way	comment	A 1965 epic based on James Bassett's novel of World War II, directed and produced by Otto Preminger and featuring an All-Star Cast including John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Patricia Neal, Dana Andrews, and Henry Fonda. It is notable for being one of the last World War II films (and the last John Wayne film) to be shot in black and white.For the trope of the same name, go here.

In Harm's Way / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: The hairstyles and civilian dress in the movie were contemporary to the time it was made, rather than the time it takes place. Similarly, the movie features various smaller vehicles that were not in the US inventory at the time, including the HU-16 Albatross Flying Boat and the M151 MUTTs pretending to be WWII era jeeps.

In Harm's Way / int_3abfffa4	comment	David vs. Goliath: The film's climax, with Rock Torrey leading an outmatched force of cruisers, destroyers, and PT boats against a much larger Japanese force. Most vividly demonstrated in Jeremiah Torrey's PT boat raid on the Japanese fleet early in the battle.

In Harm's Way / int_56863152	comment	Operation: [Blank]: "Skyhook", a planned offensive to seize the island of Levu-Vana to use as a base for American heavy bombers. Loosely based on "Operation Watchtower" to take the Solomon Islands chain from the Japanese, which was known among the troops as "Operation Shoestring" because of the very small amount of resources available.

In Harm's Way / int_5798bfbf	type	Reassigned to Antarctica
In Harm's Way / int_5798bfbf	comment	Reassigned to Antarctica: Eddington, after his wife's cheating ways, and her death during the Pearl Harbor raid (along with an extramarital lover of hers) drives him to drinking and brawling. He's reassigned as "officer in charge of piers and warehouses" on an obscure island. After Torrey's cruiser is torpedoed and nearly sunk by an enemy sub, Torrey is removed from command and sent to a desk job — an important desk job, but still a desk job, which is clearly a demotion for a warship commander.

In Harm's Way / int_dc8ba6d5	type	The Scapegoat
In Harm's Way / int_dc8ba6d5	comment	The Scapegoat: Captain Rock Torrey is ordered to take a ragtag force of cruisers and destroyers and pursue the Japanese force that launched the attack on Pearl Harbor, despite being undermanned and low on fuel. To save fuel he doesn't use zigzagging, an important defense against enemy submarines. The force is spotted and attacked by a Japanese submarine, resulting in heavy damage to Torrey's own ship. He is then relieved of command and sent to a desk job. It's clear that the decision is unjust; Torrey was following orders and as he says himself, "Under the circumstances, I could only assume that my ship was considered expendable."

In Harm's Way / int_e4b69188	comment	Very Loosely Based on a True Story: A highly-fictionalized account of the bloody Solomon Islands campaign and the even-bloodier sea battles that went with it. Levu-Vana and Gavubutu are expies of Guadalcanal and Rabaul. The big final fight is equally loosely based on the "Bloody Friday" brawl off Guadalcanal on November 12-13, 1942, in which an American cruiser-destroyer force fended off a Japanese force led by a pair of battleships.

In Harm's Way / int_f9671119	comment	Death Equals Redemption: Averted with Paul Eddington. After he rapes Annalee and she commits suicide, Eddington goes on a One-Way Trip in a bomber to try and find the Japanese fleet, and is shot down and killed shortly after calling his sighting in. Several of Torrey's staff (who don't know about the rape) think his action is heroic and want him to be awarded a Medal of Honor. But Torrey does know about the rape and understands why Eddington did what he did, says that Eddington was never into medals and refuses to recommend him for any award.
