[StartQuote] My recollections of seeing "PT 109" on its original theatrical release in the summer of 1963 remain a cherished childhood memory. I was nine years old, about to turn ten, and my paternal grandparents (both New Deal Democrats and BIG fans of JFK) and I rode downtown on a bus to the huge, ornate RKO Albee Theatre on Fountain Square in Cincinnati. We were early for the next showing, so we went to Graeter's Ice Cream Parlor around the corner on Vine Street. I had a bowl of lime sherbert. We went back to the theater, and the previous show was still running. My Grandad, who was always, as it was explained to me, "nervous," couldn't wait any longer, so we went in and sat down. We saw the last few minutes of the movie -- we came in on the part where JFK, Ross, and Cluster are in the exec's cabin of the 157 -- and the end of the film. Of course, we only had to wait a few minutes for the next show to start, and as my Grandma later told my Mother about my behavior, "He didn't move, or take his eyes off the screen for a second!" Fond memories like that last forever, and its great to see the beautiful print of this iconic World War II PT boat film on the Warner Bros. widescreen DVD. [EndQuote]
