IN HARM’S WAY – Captain Torrey John Wayne meets son Brandon De Wilde

In Harm’s Way is a 1965 American epic war film produced and directed by Otto Preminger and starring John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Patricia Neal, Tom Tryon, Paula Prentiss, Stanley Holloway, Burgess Meredith, Brandon De Wilde, Jill Haworth, Dana Andrews, and Henry Fonda. It was the last black-and-white World War II epic and the last black-and-white John Wayne film. It received a mixed response over the years as a war story that had a simple story but not a complex one or a great one, a charge leveled against Preminger’s later movies, starting with this one. The screenplay was written by Wendell Mayes based on the novel Harm’s Way by James Bassett. The film recounts the lives of several US naval officers and their wives or lovers while based in Hawaii as the US involvement in World War II begins. The title of the film comes from a quote from American Revolutionary naval hero John Paul Jones: “I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast, for I intend to go in harm’s way.” en.wikipedia.org

Pacific Ocean views complement the world-class spa and championship golf course. Can’t live without your room’s plush robe or Bose wave CD player? Order them from the Monarch’s store. Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa (Phoenix) Entering the 1929 landmark hotel is like stepping back to a gentler, more refined era. One way to escape from modern-day pressures is to rent one of the private cabanas near the Paradise Pool—they’re equipped with mineral water, shower, and phone. (photo, right) Greenbrier (White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia) The grande dame of spa resorts has a genteel air — think afternoon tea and dressing for dinner. The old-world grandeur …
