The Falls of Clyde scuttled



 https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/25553510.port-glasgow-built-falls-clyde-scuttled-hawaiian-coast/

I am dismayed to learn this fine ship, has been scuttled. It featured in several episodes of Magnum P.I -Blood and Honor and of course Memories are Forever

I am sure I visited her

From Here to Eternity

 

I am not sure I cared for this one

Lancaster gives a commanding performance

A very subtle supporting perform from Sinatra

Ernest Borgine supporting is malevolent bully. His confrontation with Prewitt at the end showed how cowardly he was, He was afraid to fight Prewitt  

I felt like we were watching a proto James Dean/ Teenage Rebel movie. Prewitt is so hard headed and obtuse it is very hard to sympathize with him. You may respect him but you can't like him- Like with teenagers the world crashes into their sheltered 

I thought the attack on Pearl would be a bigger deal 

It is nice to see Hawaii as always and there is a lot of this bleeding into Magnum- you hear the instrumental music in Memories are for ever
