From that movie I learned that Japanese ships had no sailors aboard them.
And made out of balsa wood.
That does it!! In Harms Way was/is one of the five greatest movies of all time.
It is full of cliches, improbable characters, cheesy action scenes, with a love story mixed in.
In short, it was pure John Wayne. The box office and history disagrees with the critics who tell us what movies to like and dislike.
