Movie Reviews of Away All Boats

Movie Review: Great Naval War Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Away All Boats, starring Jeff Chandler is an exciting movie about Naval Warfare in the Pacific in WWII. The Belinda may not be the type of glamor ship Chandler's character wanted to command, but he made her and her crew into the pride of the Navy. There are realistic and humorous interchanges between crew members as well as personal struggles among several of the officers under Chandler's command that challenge them to grow in their capacity as Naval officers. There are great scenes utilizing the small Mike boats used to land Marines on amphibious island assaults as well as Japanese Kamikaze airplane attacks on the ship that nearly sink her. In the end, suffering several direct hits by Kamikazes exploding on her decks, it is the training and pride in their ship that bring officers and men together to save the ship from sinking. The men and officers of the Belinda provide a realistic picture of shipboard life in WWII. AN outstanding movie.Away All Boats

Movie Review: A Study in Naval Leadership
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a story of a ship, its captain and crew, as they are melded into one. Chandler is great (I agree with other reviewers: we lost him way too young), but it is the story that is fascinating.

As the son of a WWII Chief Petty Officer, I was glad to see that the film captures the Chiefs as the "backbone of the Navy."

It is a must have for a WWII film library.

Movie Review: Away All Boats
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a very hard DVD to find but Amazon had it. It was a DVD that my Dad wanted before he passed away and it made him very happy to have it. The actors and movie are excellent.

Movie Review: A great Clint Eastwood film!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Can you find him? Mr. Eastwood plays a bit part in this pretty good WWII movie. I gave it 5 stars because I think everyone should see it at least once.
