Reviews for In Harm's Way
The intergeneration conflict, a recurrent motif in John Wayne's pictures, is most explicit in Otto Preminger's WWII drama, between Wayne and his soldiers as well as between him and his son--the Duke gets to impart lessons of manhood and honor to both
It goes on and on, the slowness exacerbated by Preminger's customary long takes and by the endless parade of star cameos.
Preminger seems happier with long transition shots of the Hawaiian Islands and military class ships than it does with creating rhythm in the film’s narrative.
