This two-part Documentary from 2006 covers numerous aspects of the production, including its place in cinema and world history, the work of Producer Stanley Kramer, adapting the book to the screen and the need to cut it down to size, the legendary ensemble cast, the work of Edward Dmytryk and his transition from Noir pictures, the film's authenticity to Naval regulation and procedure, the inter-character dynamics, the plot's themes and character development, and more. This is a wonderfully all-inclusive, fast-paced, and engaging feature. It's a must-watch for all who enjoy this film and film history.
