This is a partially true story of JFK's incedible adventure in the South Paciic . The WWII Exploits of Lieutenant John F Kennedy : Clift Robertson in the South Pacific. As John Kennedy is assigned to command a small , swift , but old PT boat and subsequently leads his crew in a brave and daring rescue of Marines stranded on a island under Japanese control and being heavily shot and bombed . After that , on another assignment things go wrong . Most men have given up...but not the crew of PT 109 . Suddenly the bow of the destroyer was on top of them and a huge cleaver bearing down on Lt . John F Kennedy and his crew : Ty Hardin , Robert Culp , Norman Fell , Robert Blake . This was the end of the line for PT 109 and yet in a way , it was only the beginning . "The story you wouldn't believe happened...but it did!" . "Blazing adventure in the South Pacific !"
Interesting picture concerning the heroic exploits of the Young Man who became President of the USA . A remarkable and rousing insight into the qualities inherent in the known person that were time later make him a legend . It is an epic story of heroism and survival of a band of men left for dead in a flaming and dangerous sea surrounded by sharks and Japanese . This is a part true and part fictitious tale about the future USA president , retelling his feats and adventures in the South Pacific . A blazing and thrilling adventure is which our famous Lieutenant and his crew are attacked , bombing and eventually shipwrecked at a Pacific atoll. The film gives a nice profile in courage of the illustrous officer . Allegedly based on facts the flick excels on the heroic feats of the notorious character well played by Clift Robertson. However , the real John F. Kennedy was in the late twenties , while Clft Robertson was in the forties . Clift is well accompanied by a good support cast , such as: James Gregory, Grant Williams , Robert Culp, Michael Pate , Norman Fell, William Douglas , Biff Elliott , and Robert Blake . Part of of the "A Night at the Movies" series , this tape results to be overlong , but passable and acceptable .
The motion picture was professionally directed by Leslie H. Martison . He was a good professional . A craftsman who directed some films aand various TV episodes , such as : "Batman" , "Fathom" , "Mrs Pollifax Spy" , "Chips" , "Wonder Woman" , "The Six Million Dollar Man", "Barnaby Jones" , "The Brady Bunch" , "Cannon" , "Mannix" , among others . Rating : 6/10. Decent and passable warlike film . The movie will appeal to WWII enthusiasts .
