Robert Montgomery is often overlooked but he was a decorated US Navy vetMost of it was filmed in Florida near Miami. The cinematography is much better than most war films in the 40's.

There were several others in the production of this movie that served, principally John Ford and his cameraman. Unlike his friend and protégé John Wayne, Ford jointed up in 42. This created a problem for MGM who planned to make and release the movie in 42 with Ford directing. Their firm belief that this movie needed Ford's direction resulted in the movie being filmed around Ford's availability. Thus the film was not released until Dec 1945, after the war was over.Robert Montgomery is often overlooked but he was a decorated US Navy vet
This is an often overlooked WII propaganda film. It has a good cast and is a well made film. The story won an academy and was nominated in several other categories. There are only a couple of battle scenes as the movie focuses on the sub crew's attempt to escape traveling across Canada.Turner Classic movie channel had a strange movie called the (49 Parallel) circa 1942 about a German sub crashing in Canada and the crew escaping. Raymond Massey portrayed a Canadian Soldier confronting the escaped German. It was mostly a talky drama focusing on the Nazi psychology.
Tora! Tora! Tora! is an amazing collaboration between the USA and Japan in telling the story of what happened during the attack on Pearl Harbor. As such, it is a great movie that uses the inputs of the two countries involved in that event nearly three decades after the bombing happened. I believe it's available on Netflix
