Summary: PT 109
Comment: Great movie! I wish I could get a copy to play it on my DVD player, instead of having to dig out and hook up my old VCR when ever I want to watch it.

Summary: Oustanding movie about fine man, and very good future President!
Comment: The absolute best performance of actor
Robertson's career. Story of young Lt.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who VOLUNTEERED
for hazardous PT boat duty in World War
II, despite his, brother and father's
previous role in Patriotic America First
Committee, that TRIED in vain to keep the
US out of World War II. Just like Pilot/
Aviator Charles Lindbergh, Jr. Kennedy
backed the Soviets down in '62 and prob-
ably kept the world from nuclear war, but
the Establishment keeps lying about alled-
ged affairs AFTER HE'S BEEN DEAD AND GONE
AND CANNOT DEFEND HIMSELF! Absolute rubbish!
The Masons, Zionists and others may hate him
but real Americans have been telling the
truth about him for years; Col. L. Fletcher
Prouty, Tom Valentine, Bo Gritz, and yes,
Rich Salzer!

Summary: Saved his crew and then the world
Comment: For those who have seen this film Barney Ross (Robert Culp) was a source of humor to the PT Men. While this is not played up in the film, the PT Boat brotherhood got Barney a part in the picture as a CPO whom the young jg Kennedy pours cleaning fluid on by mistake. Early in the film when the crew is renovating the boat the actual Barney Ross is the chief telling JFK about sea pearls.
Kennedy has been dead for over 40 years and is still under attacks for his private life, wonder why that is? He did all right by me, saved my ass in 1962. Why no DVD wonder why that is?
I can't agree that it is too long it gives a good measure of the SW Pacific between being bored to death and shot to death.
When Kennedy read the script he gave his OK if he could pick the actor to play himself he picked a young upstart named Cliff not Warren atleast that was the story in 1963, 64, 65....

Summary: PT 109
Comment: Yes it is a very good movie, I remember seeing it for the 1st time with my Dad at the theater in 1963. He was in the US Navy, and it is Hollywood, but it does show the story of how and what happened with former President Kennedy, while he was in the South Pacific during WWII.

Editorial Reviews:

John F. Kennedy lived long enough to see this Hollywood account of his Navy career and his heroism following a ruthless attack by a Japanese ship on his small patrol craft. Cliff Robertson is an amiable choice to play Kennedy, though one won't find a lot of the late president's mannerisms in his performance. The key battle sequence, which finds Kennedy and his crew bloodied and battered while trying to stay alive in shark-infested waters, makes a big impression on young viewers. --Tom Keogh
