Description

For most of the past 90 years, Hollywood has used the Navy to freely obtain personnel, equipment, and locations for movies filled with adventure, romance, and drama, while the Navy gained a public image that boosted its recruiting efforts and its relations with Congress. Although the Vietnam War disrupted this pattern of cooperation, movies like The Right Stuff reestablished the Navy's favorable image. This volume documents the making of the Navy's image on film from the industry's earliest days, analyzing some 100 films for their portrayal of the Navy. B&w photographs.
