Drunken Harbor

In Harm's Way is a 1965 American epic historical romantic war film produced and directed by Otto Preminger and starring John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, and Patricia Neal. The supporting cast featured Henry Fonda in a lengthy cameo, Tom Tryon, Paula Prentiss, Stanley Holloway, Burgess Meredith, Brandon deWilde, Jill Haworth, Dana Andrews, and Franchot Tone. Produced with Panavision motion picture equipment, it was one of the last black-and-white World War II epics, and Wayne's last black-and-white film. The screenplay was written by Wendell Mayes, based on the 1962 novel Harm's Way, by James Bassett. The film begins with the Navy's point of view during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and follows the lives of several U.S. naval officers based in Hawaii and their lovers over the first year of the U.S.'s participation in WWII, with Wayne's traditional depiction of a stoic hero juxtaposed against Douglas's study of an emotionally unbalanced officer who commits a number of immoral actions.
