Leave your thoughts about PT 109.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt probably works best for fans of the popular President. |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostMild drama is best in long opening showing restoration of PT boat. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumRapidly produced hero drama (JFK's WWII exploits) has its moments. |
| User ReviewLarry SExcellant movie that chronicles JFK's WWII Navy adventure. Hard to find except on VHS. |
| User ReviewAshley HPT 109 is an excellent film. It is about President John F. Kennedy's war time experiences during which he captained a PT boat, took it to battle and had it sunk by a Japanese destroyer. Cliff Robertson and Ty Hardin give amazing performances. The screenplay is well written. Leslie H. Martinson did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. PT 109 is a must see. |
| User ReviewJoey TOh my goodness. Where do I start? First of all, I have been watching this movie on VHS since I can possibly remember. This has to be my favorite war film of all time! I have watched this film HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of times. I also got to read the book by Robert J. Donovan, and it was an excellent treat. I must say that although the historical inaccuracies do stand out, the fact that this is only a dramatization makes the film work, and thus the pacing of the film is not lost. The battle scenes are very well-crafted, and better than what CGI has done for battle scenes in some of Hollywood's later releases such as Pearl Harbor (2001). They are very entertaining, and they are most certainly the highlight of this film. Cliff Robertson does very well for the role of the young John F. Kennedy, as well as the rest of the supporting cast, including James Gregory as the uptight and cynical Commander Ritchie, and the recently deceased Robert Culp, who serves as the very candid and lighthearted comic-relief character of Barney Ross. The cinematography is very well handled for what they had in 1963, and serves the movie well as far as presenting the story. I cannot find a single major flaw with this film. In conclusion, it would be a crime for me to say that this movie didn't inspire me to become a World War II buff and someone who loves and appreciates history, as well as attributing to John F. Kennedy being one of my favorite presidents of all-time. I love this movie, and if you're a war buff guy like me whose really looking into some of the older genre of war films (especially war films that are based on a true story), I highly recommend this film! It may be extremely hard to find, but you definitely got to see it some way or another! This is an absolute cinematic gem in the war film genre! |
| User ReviewTracey MThis is a great adventure movie about JFK |
| User ReviewBryan GLook for the "chef" who can make peanut butter sanmwitches on toast. I remember seeing this as a youngster. |
| User ReviewKevin SCliff Robertson turns in a fantastic performance as a young JFK. |
| User ReviewJenn-BugA "must see" for anyone that likes WWII movies or is interested in history. Excellent film. |
