    Take Her Down.

    Cliff Robertson skippers a submarine in the South Pacific in 1942 during and after the Battle of the Coral Sea, a slug fest that lost the US more ships than the Japanese but prevented their landing on New Guinea, just across the Torrest Straits from Australia. Subs played no important part in the battle and the American forces had little idea of what they were doing because this was their first real engagement since Pearl Harbor.

    It begins with an action scene, Robertson's boat being attacked by enemy aircraft while rescuing some downed flyers. That scene is okay. Then, below decks, the movie begins to macerate. There is always banter among enlisted men in these war movies. It may be about the meaning of FUBAR, as in "Saving Private Ryan", or about the delicate strucure of an ordinary leaf, as in "A Walk in the Sun." Sometimes it's amusing. Here it begins with a silly argument between Bates and the man he thinks stole his chewing gum. The reason for the theft is never explained, nor is the hole in the pants of the thief. It's markedly pointless. When the Exec peers through the scope and sees a Japanese carrier, he exclaims, "Sweet sufferin' sukiyaki." Robertson: "You can say that again." "Sweet sufferin' sukiyaki." Not a lot of effort has gone into the script, but that's not a reflection on Robertson, who delivers his usual solid performance, though some might say stolid.

    Sent on a top secret mission about a third of the way through, the script becomes untethered and changes to a Japanese POW camp, one of those camps with a civilized commander who has spent time in America and admires the country but who feels an overwhelming duty to discharge his military obligations. Well, it worked in "The Bridge On the River Kwai." The strenuous work in the prison camp is lightened somewhat by the presence of a pretty blond nurse, who has no facilities to cope with the pneumonia contracted by the executive officer.

    Also, living the with Japanese occupiers of the island is the attractive Gia Scala who has declared herself "neutral." But Robertson is disincline to toy with her. His intention is to escape from the island (the size of Manhattan and surrounded by five hundred miles of ocean) and he asks Scala for weapons. "I couldn't possibly do that. Perhaps some knife blades." With barely a glance at her, Robertson snaps, "Get 'em." He needs her to get the knife blades so they can try to escape. She does and they do, but escape is no easy matter. There are casualties. ("Sorry, Peg. I'm afraid I can't make it. You'll have to go on without me.")

    The title of the film sounds like an epic along the lines of "Saving Private Ryan" or "The Longest Day." It's not. The battle of the Coral Sea lasts about five minutes at the very end and is largely cobbled together from familiar newsreel footage or miniatures from earlier movies like "Air Force", "Destination Tokyo," and "Gung Ho." If you intend to watch it, don't do it for a lesson in history.

    Somewhat Misleading Title but Fairly Interesting All the Same

    With the Japanese Navy steadily advancing towards Australia the decision is made to send a submarine named the U. S. S. Dragonfish out into the Coral Sea to gather intelligence on all enemy ships in that area and then proceed to a highly classified rendezvous point to deliver whatever information they may have collected. The man in charge of this mission is "LtCmdr Jeff Conway" (Cliff Robertson) is given strict orders to do whatever is necessary to prevent the Japanese from discovering the rendezvous point. However, his determination to carry out this order is soon tested after he is forced to scuttle the submarine and his men are subsequently tortured in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp pending his cooperation. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off relatively well and remained entertaining up until the final 10 minutes or so when stock war footage was inserted for effect. That being said, while certainly not a great war film by any means, it managed to keep my attention for the most part and I have rated it accordingly.

    Deserves A Film Like The Longest Day

    Just in case you're wondering Battle Of The Coral Sea has absolutely nothing to do with the Pacific Allies engaging the Japanese Fleet from May 4 to 8, 1942. The title should not lead you to expect to get a film like The Longest Day or Midway which are factual docudramas about those battles. The Coral Sea battle does deserve such a film and maybe an American or Australian film maker will do such a film some day. This ain't it.

    This is instead about Cliff Robertson and his submarine sent on a scouting expedition to find out Japanese intentions. They do find out, but the submarine is destroyed and Robertson and his crew are taken prisoner.

    After that the film plot line is one of escape as Robertson, his surviving crew members and some Aussie prisoners are also looking to break out. Along for the ride is Gia Scala daughter of a French plantation owner who is Japanese speaking and serves as interpreter. She's surviving the best she can by coyly alleging Vichy sympathies.

    What Robertson might have been doing is anyone's guess because we knew of Japanese intentions having broken the Japanese code. So the film is false on the face of it. Add to that Robertson's rather unbelievable escape, similar to Errol Flynn and his crew in Desperate Journey.

    Hopefully one day we'll get the real story of the Coral Sea. Demand it rather than this be the film that purportedly tells it.

    Battle of the Coral Sea review

    A submarine crew captured by the Japanese attempt to escape from a remote island prison camp during WWII. Young leading man Cliff Robertson's efforts to appear older by sporting a Gable 'tache gives him the unfortunate appearance of a second-rate gigolo in uniform, but he gives a decent performance in this reasonably entertaining war picture. Presumably, budgetary constraints are responsible for its' prison camp being one of the most sparsely populated in movie history.

    Summary of the actual battle

    The Japanese lost the 11,000 ton light-carrier Shoho, while the Americans lost the much more valuable Lexington. In addition, each-side had a top-notch CV (Shokaku and Yorktown) damaged. The Japanese had a 3rd carrier, Zuikaku, which was undamaged during the battle. Based on that, the Japanese won the battle, however, their air group was punished heavily. Their carriers were assigned to support the invasion of Port Moresby, and they had suffered a lot of plane losses so that they no longer felt confident they could do this. So, this swings it to an overall draw.

    In the end, it would be the Japanese who were hurting more, because the Americans not only had a lot more pilots in reserve, and thus could replace losses more easily, at this point in the war the Japanese Navy had the more experienced pilots. So, losing pilots hurt them more than it hurt the USA. Also, it took nearly 2 months to sail Shokaku back to Japan and repair her, but Yorktown headed for Pearl Harbor and was patched-up and ready for battle (although not fully repaired) in 3 days.

    Incidentally, their plane/pilot losses were so heavy that Zuikaku sat out the battle of Midway waiting for replacement pilots. This was a huge mistake since the 5th flight deck would have been invaluable.

      Opening credits prologue: "One of the greatest and most significant battles in the history of naval warfare occurred in May 1942.

      The place: Coral Sea, South Pacific.

      The participants: the Japanese Fifth Carrier Division and the United States Pacific Fleet.

      The issue at stake was simple and clearcut. The enemy was moving rapidly towards Australia and had to be stopped. He was stopped.

      The Allied victory in the South Pacific will stand in world history as a noble monument to the memory of the gallant men and officers of the United States Navy who fought and won the battle of the Coral Sea."

      Signed: Rear Admiral John J. Bergen, U S N R President Navy League of the United States
