Product: Midway (Collector's Edition) (1976)
Rating: 2.0
Bad Acting and Stolen Footage
This movie couldn't decide if it was a soap opera set in WW II or a docudrama. Heston/ Sullivan romance adds nothing to the movie. Albert's character is winey. If you start watching the movie at the point where the American carriers leave Pearl Harbor is not a bad movie. The scenes of the air attacks on the Japanese carriers is interesting and has a degree of accuracy. Most unforgiveable and annoying thing about the movie is most of the battle on Midway Island is lifted from the attack on pearl Harbor in Tora, Tora, Tora. I know special effects were expensive but that's a trick worthy of a bad B movie.
