Jim back in the day, when he had hair.

No Buna's were harmed in this picture although a lot of bananas were consumed.

If I were richer then Midas, I'd want to make a naval movie the way they made at least one military movie, and just rent some battleships.

Looks like a Mk 19 fire control radar to me. Bofors mounts started receiving them by the end of the war, so showing them, along with quadruple mounts on a DD in 1942, is obviously anachronistic. Looks like the filmmakers just left the radars on and prayed none of us nerds noticed.

Some Naval Historians eviscerate the movies' lack of historicity:

I re-read the book and it would seem that, according to one of the reviewers, the film bears little resemblance to CS Forrester's novella.

It's sad that even when Hollywood can get the history right, they inevitably choose not to bother. Think that I will give Greyhound a miss.

Re-read 'The Good Shepherd' by Forester before re-watching. I went in with low expectations based on the trailer and was pleasantly surprised. It very faithfully re-creates the book and is far from "Hollywood" - I will forgive the grumpy nitpickers who hang on to a few inaccuracies but I enjoyed it. Thoroughly.

I gave up watching this movie simply because of Apple's bubble of slavery. I'm not interested in signing up for yet another internet tv, especially one so restrictive as Apple. Gave up my old iphones, itunes long ago and don't regret and my old last apple hardware, an old macbook pro 2010 now runs only on bootcamp windows. Not that I like windows, but it's at least not a concentration camp as apple stuff.

Intreasting, someone should start a comprehensive SUB movie & Documentary?) thread here with legal links to said movie or documentary,
(like the SS music thread in GT) that would be cool.

I've read all the Hornblower books by C S Forester and he definitely knows his stuff regarding sailing, ships and the sea, but submarines I'm not so sure
