For those interested in the naval aspects of the period. In the scene at Tangier Bay when Marines come ashore the warships in the background appear to be, from left to right, USS Cleveland (C-19), USS Brooklyn (CA-3) and USS Castine (PG-6). The director Milius did a good job researching the era. Although, the incident is heavily fictionalized, the ships shown did serve in the Med about that time. |

Capt. Jerome, USMC: It seems quite obvious, I would think, sir – we must seize the government and make our own negotiations. Gummere: [incredulous] Seize the government? Capt. Jerome, USMC: At BAYONET point! Gummere: [snidely; to Dreighton] Well, I certainly would like to see that old son-of-a-bitch at bayonet point, huh? [chuckles] Gummere: But it's ridiculous; it's outrageous, it's lunatic! Adm. Chadwick: Yes, isn't it though? I think Teddy should love it! Gummere: But, what about the French, the Germans – the British? Why we're in the shadow of Gibraltar! Adm. Chadwick: [slams his hand on table and stands up] DAMN THE LEGATIONS! Gummere: [uneasily] You realize, of course, that if we fail in even the slightest way, we'll all be killed? Adm. Chadwick: Yes, and the whole world will probably go to war. Capt. Jerome, USMC: Gentlemen, if we fail and are killed, I certainly hope the world DOES go to war! [raises glass as a toast] Adm. Chadwick: The world at war! Gummere: A world war? Now THAT would be something to go out on… Capt. Jerome, USMC: Captain Jerome, United States Marine Corps, and you are my prisoner, sir. The Bashaw of Tangier: You are a very dangerous man, Captain, and your President Roosevelt is mad. Capt. Jerome, USMC: Yes, sir! |

Absolutely TRUE, Bob!!! One of the greatest scores of the Seventies, and one of my personal favorite scores of all time. Rallynow -- you are a TMPer after my own heart: "…something to go out on," indeed! Man, what a movie. |
