Destroyer (1943)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by William A. Seiter
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Sony Screen Classics by Request)
(Turner Classic Movies)

Contrived Navy drama with a retired Edward G. Robinson going back to active duty aboard a newly christened destroyer. He butts heads with young Glenn Ford over military and personal matters, since Ford is romancing his daughter. The final battle scenes between the run down destroyer and a Jap sub almost make it worthwhile, but obvious model work spoils the fun.
