Arguably John Wayne’s Best Performance
Although an excellent film, Otto Preminger’s “In Harm’s Way” (1965) has never been one of my personal favorites; probably because the most interesting character, Commander Eddington (Kirk Douglas), inexplicably turns into sex maniac and must redeem himself with an extremely silly kamikaze gesture. Since you have a lot invested in the character, the sudden manifestation of mega self-destructive tendencies (both figurative and literal) cause the film to self-destruct along with his character.

The only positive about Eddington’s downward spiral is that it allowed Preminger to give additional screen time to his ingénue Jill Haworth. Her Ensign Annalee Dorne character ranks near the top of cinema’s all-time cuteness scale, a pleasant memory whenever one thinks about the film.

“In Harms’s Way” feels more like a film made just after the war than 20 years later. It begins extremely well with probably the best “attack on Pearl Harbor” sequences ever-in part because they are not the main thrust of the story and are not all that elaborate. Captain Rockwell Torrey’s (John Wayne) is at sea when the attack begins and for him the biggest battle is political. With the help of politically savvy Commander Egan Powell (Burgess Meredith), and the moral support of a nurse from his generation Lieutenant Maggie Hayes (Patricia Neal), he weathers the accountability storm and eventually assumes a key command under Admiral Nimitz (Henry Fonda).

As noted above, Torrey’s aide (Eddington) is never able to adjust to the death of his less than faithful wife (Barbara Bouchet). His main competition for Haworth’s character is Captain Torrey’s estranged son, nicely played by Brandon De Wilde although the physical differences between the two actors make it very hard to accept the parentage premise. Interestingly, their relationship and physical mismatch is virtually identical to Wayne’s earlier one with actor Claude Jarman in John Ford’s “Rio Grande” (1950). Both De Wilde (“Shane”) and Jarman (“The Yearling”) were famous child stars trying to transition to adult roles. De Wilde was killed several years after his “In Harm’s Way” appearance.

The villain of the story (at least until Douglas becomes totally unglued) is Commander Neal Owen (Patrick O’Neal), a publicity seeking former congressman who has enlisted to serve as PR officer to incompetent Admiral ‘Blackjack’ Broderick (Dana Andrews).

Somehow Torrey eventually finds time to actually fight the Japanese.

Because “In Harm’s Way” is often melodramatic soap opera rather than action adventure, Wayne gets a chance to really act and makes the most of it. It is arguably his all-time best performance, aided by Preminger’s excellent acting for the camera direction and a very strong supporting cast that really challenged Duke to let it all go. His scenes with Neal are his all-time best.

Preminger and his editor get high praise for the film’s pacing, inserting quality subplots (like the Tom Tryon and Paula Prentiss romance) to keep things moving along nicely. Not so praiseworthy are the special effects, which may in part account for the 1940’s feel of the film. There is poor use of optical-printer effects and the ship models sit so high in the water that they betray all efforts to make them behave realistically.

There’s an incredible panoply of recognizable stars including Slim Pickens, George Kennedy, Hugh O’Brien, Carroll O’Connor, Larry Hagman, and Stanley Holloway.

Paramount’s DVD is not just widescreen glory (an excellent 16×9 B&W transfer) but has a considerable number of nice special features. A featurette with outtakes and three trailers.

Then again, what do I know? I’m only a child.

“a mother lovin’ gut busting navy war.”
I’ve always felt that in these big budget all star epics, the trick is to give each of the star a role of substance as small as the part might be sometimes. That’s one of the best things about In Harm’s Way, Otto Preminger cast this film with a whole lot of big movie names and each one of them made their presence felt.

Case in point the three admirals played by Franchot Tone, Dana Andrews, and Henry Fonda. All three are very different type men. Tone is a man knowing he’ll be sitting the war out because it was on his watch that the Pearl Harbor attack occurred. He’s not bitter, he knows that’s how things work in the navy. Dana Andrews is a publicity conscious admiral who employs the unctuous Patrick O’Neal in that regard. Henry Fonda plays the second commander in chief of the Pacific, Chester Nimitz in all but name. Oddly enough Fonda would play Nimitz again and by name in the film Midway a decade later. All three of these men make a deep impression on the audience despite having limited roles.

I’m sure that when Otto Preminger was casting In Harm’s Way he must have seen Operation Pacific and saw the easy chemistry that John Wayne and Patricia Neal had 14 years earlier. Playing older and wiser versions of themselves from the previous film, Wayne and Neal show love ain’t just for the young.

In Harm’s Way has the Duke as a father figure for the first time. As Rockwell Torrey, the rock of ages as Kirk Douglas calls him, in addition to the Pacific War he takes on a whole lot of people’s problems and they look to him for advice and comfort. In addition to his biological son Brandon DeWilde, the Duke also deals with Kirk Douglas and his problem concerning his tramp of a wife and the problems of young Lieutenant j.g. Tom Tryon and his wife Paula Prentiss.

One of my favorite John Wayne scenes is with Prentiss as he brings her the news about Tryon being missing in action. It is so well done from both players I’m still moved after having seen In Harm’s Way a dozen times or more.

Acting honors however may go to Kirk Douglas as Wayne’s chief aide who has the most complex role in the film. Douglas runs the gamut of emotions as he does in so many of his roles, from naval hero to maniacal rapist. Douglas actually hopes the war coming will help him put his personal problems on a back burner. For a while and it does, but only temporarily.

Another favorite I have here is Patrick O’Neal who if there is a villain other than the Japanese, he’s it. He’s a smarmy former Congressman who’s looking as the war as a series of photo ops and is already planning his post war political career. O’Neal’s not above jeopardizing a naval operation for the sake of a little publicity for his boss Dana Andrews. His confrontation with Kirk Douglas in the latrine is a classic.

In Harm’s Way is a skilled blend of war drama and soap opera in the best sense of that term. It can be enjoyed and appreciated by fans of both.
