chief was preparing to shoot it
when his company acquired the
Fox equities by merger. Placed
on the shelf temporarily, it was
pulled down and handed to
Director John Ford with an un-

to turn out a class picture.
It will be a vivid dramatiza-
ton of the glamorous, heroic ex-
ploits of those tiny wooden craft
officially known as submarine
chasers.
Frail, apparently Intellectual,
the abortive creation of some
braSS-hat Admiral, the little sub
chaSerS drew only the mocking
jeerS of their bigger brothers in
the Naval Service.
Yet, before the war was ended,
they were to see more exciting
service in the Adriatic and the
Mediterranean than any other
branch of the Navy.
Theirs was the task of pro-
tecting shipping and troop con.
voys from the vicious thrustS
of the U-boats. Thus they
waged ceaselesS warfare against
their stealthy undersea adver-
saries; and, in the great Otronto
barrage which climaxes the
story, they played a vital part
in wiping out Germany's big
submarine bases and crippling
her undersea activities.
The story deals with a strange
group of men-recruited from
all walks of life-who joined

of evading active service, yet
who passed through this crucible
Of blood and danger to emerge
