Here is what people are saying about the Fighting Lady
 "WWII movie" | 2009-10-17 |
| - Reviewed By cemose |
I know this was a movie to stimulate patriotism in Anmerica when it was needed but I find nothing wrong with that. It seems to be a current fad to belittle patriotism as the bully attitude and that is sad. This is a feel good movie about heroism and a great ship.

 "A Tribute to our WWII Heros" | 2009-02-09 |
| - Reviewed By User: A280N6W5FVUXC4 |
| So far no reviews have named this ship and the brave crew who fought for what we hold so dear today... This film contains actual combat and other aspects of life aboard "The fighting Lady" CV-10 which was the second USS Yorktown. It was named after the Yorktown (CV-5) which was sunk in the Pacific two years ealier. This was one of the most modern carriers in WWII with the much feared "Hellcat" aircraft which spelled the begining of the end for the japanese empire. It presently sits in Charleston Harbor as a museum and tribute to our past. This is a great educational film and a rare glimpse of actual history as it unfolded. |

 "war drama" | 2008-05-06 |
| - Reviewed By william6368 |
| this is a very good war movie of the american carrier, but disappointed in the print as it is poor clarity at the start, the color is very deep with a lot of pink showing. the sound is down in parts, but the narration id very good by Robert taylor, well directored and the score by Newman is good. I can only give this movie 2 star. it as a lovely cover annd a good story to it. however I shall look for a better copy if available in the future |

Robert Stack reads right from the Government script.
We all know who the Fighting Lady is and that is what sticks out.
Great 1940's navy Jargon! |

Released in late 1944, winner of an Academy Award as Best Documentary in 1945, William Wyler's THE FIGHTING LADY portrays life aboard a newly commissioned aircraft carrier as it wends its way southward from its eastern seaboard home port, crosses the Panama Canal, and streams westward to join the naval war in the Pacific theater of operations. Finally, we are on board planes and boat during a number of enemy engagements.
The War Office commissioned a number of these documentaries during the war. They were made by top-notch Hollywood directors, including John Huston, John Ford, and Wyler. Probably the best known of these is Frank Capra's early, five-part `Why We Fight' series, the first of which was released in 1942. I've read that audiences grew increasingly tired of them. War-weariness had set in, newsreels delivered much more current information, and the typical 60-minute run time was hard to fit onto a playbill. A Saint or a Boston Blackie or even a Blondie episode would have been a lot easier to sell than a war documentary depicting events that occurred over a year and a half ago.
That said, THE FIGHTING LADY is pretty good. The ship's real name is never revealed. I guess (wasn't told this, either) that it's a Yorktown-class carrier. The camera gets around fairly comfortably, imparting an idea of how enclosed and self contained life on an aircraft carrier was. Crewmen bake bread, shave steaks off whole quarters of beeves. The deck hangar is as huge as a cathedral. Early on the ship's captain exhorts the crew to greater efficiency, pilots are granted the luxury of pre-battle breakfasts of steak and eggs, and the mutt mascot wags around in a miniature life vest when the ship enters more dangerous waters. The approach is admiring, the tone (with voice-over narration by Robert Taylor) is determined, and the general impression, by 1943, is one of overwhelming material superiority. By 1945 the subject had changed from `why we fight' to `how we won.'
This is the first full color WWII documentary I've seen, and one of the few produced during the war. After the ship reaches the war zone we're shown a lot of footage of Japanese planes being shot out of sky by the ship's aak-aak guns, land and sea targets strafed and bombed via movie cameras strapped onto airplane guns, and that fellow with the flags on the flight deck guiding the planes in for the always hazardous deckside landings. Although cameras are smaller, lighter, and steadier today, TFL contains some of the supplest photography I've seen in a contemporary documentary. It's visually interesting, and not the worst of the lot by a long shot.

| It should be clearly told to the buyer that this is a mere "DOCUMENTARY" not A MOVIE.... ROBERT TAYLOR STILL SOUNDS GREAT... |
