1:03:01
I think there's something splendid
in the idea.
1:03:06
Yes, it does have a ring to it, doesn't it?
1:03:13
How's the old man, Bus?
1:03:15
The President has expressed
an interest in Adm. Jessup's movie.
1:03:19
Naturally.
1:03:21
The Navy has committed itself
to this movie...
1:03:23
and it'll be pretty damned embarrassing
if it isn't made.
1:03:27
So, Charlie, we're going
to make that movie.
1:03:30
That's very spunky of you, Bus.
1:03:32
You and I are going to get on that
2100 flight to Portland this evening...
1:03:36
and we're going to make a movie!
1:03:38
I'm going in this with you, buddy.
1:03:39
I'm cutting orders
for the both of us right now.
1:03:42
Damn it, Charlie. It's exciting, isn't it?
1:03:45
Will you quit giving me
these comradely pokes?
1:03:47
This is it, boy. This is the big show.
1:03:49
And we're going to be in there
for the first shot.
1:03:52
Just how did you and I suddenly become
The Charge of the Light Brigade?
1:03:55
Charlie...
1:03:57
there's a lot more to this movie
than we knew about.
1:04:01
The Admiral had a much larger vision
in mind.
1:04:06
Apparently...
1:04:09
the Admiral's idea is to build a tomb
for the Unknown Sailor.
1:04:15
And to put the first dead man
on Omaha Beach into it.
1:04:20
Tomb for the what?
1:04:22
That's a new one on me.
1:04:25
All right, sailors, that'll be all.
1:04:27
The Navy wants this movie made
and it's going to be made.
1:04:29
You get back to your hotel
and pack your gear...
1:04:32
because we're going on that 2100 flight
to Portland this evening.
1:04:36
That's an order, Commander.
1:04:38
A tomb for the Unknown Sailor.
Holy cow, Bus!
1:04:42
- Take it easy, Charlie.
- Charlie, you and I have had it too easy.
1:04:46
I think we've forgotten we're officers
in the United States Navy.
1:04:49
It's not up to us to approve our orders...
1:04:51
even if those orders
mean risking our lives.
1:04:55
These are your orders, Charlie.
1:04:57
We'll have a mimeographed copy
in half an hour.
1:04:59
We've been through this before.
