Away All Boats

Customer Reviews:

good film but.......2007-07-29

I enjoyed watching Away All Boats but I would have enjoyed it more in widescreen.The version I watched was in full frame,pan and scan. Are there any widescreen versions available? Having just watched The Caine Mutiny, I think Capt. Queeg could have learned some valuable lessons from tha Captain in Away All Boats.

A nice movie, well acted , but a little slow in places.......2007-04-12

As a child I remember watching this one with my Dad and enjoying it very much. I wish you could give half stars because that is what I would give this. The cast is first rate with special honors going to Jeff Chandler and his turn as the Captain. He really show what command must be like. We see the worry over his crew and how he has to ride them hard sometime to keep them ready to do their jobs and still shows the feeling of loneliness that goes with the job. My only problem with this film is that it tends to drag in some spots, but still I think most fans of war movies, the Navy, and older movies will enjoy this one.

A typical black and white film with a superb story and a brilliant actor in Jeff Chandler

This DVD is a copy of a VHS tape.......2006-03-18

Good Times is selling a Chinese/Asian rip-off of a VHS tape. No wide screen, no digital upgrade.

The movie itself is excellent but don't waste your money on this thing.

I'm also a Navy Vietnam-era veteran and I do love this film. I had recorded it years ago and now can't find the tape so I am sure I will be getting the DVD here. This movie was filmed, in part, aboard the Amphibious Transport ship USS SANDOVAL APA (LPA) 194. I was stationed on this ship in 1968-69 until we decommissioned her. Watching the landing exercises in this film brought back many memories as I was part of 2nd Division which was the boat division and we were "graded" on our readiness.
This has good acting and alot of adventure. The script was a bit hoaky at times but that can be overlooked. I highly recommend this film. Get it and Set Condition One-Alpha!
