[StartQuote] While "They Were Expendable" covers RON 3's early efforts and "PT 109" covers you know who, I can't understand why another movie was never made. The books of Hugh Cave and Basil Heatter were out there since the1940's, why they were never made into a screen play I don't know. Maybe they were and just lost in the Hollywood machine. I am and have always been a big James Garner fan and he would have been perfect as a PT Boat Skipper. I really think Hollywood dropped the ball here, especially, when you research how many World War Two movies were made in the 1960's. I have always thought there should be a "PT BOAT Trilogy or Quadrogy" spanning New Guinea, Europe(Med and D-Day), and the Philippines. Yes, James Garner would have been perfect, my two favorite Garner movies are Up Periscope and Grand Prix and The Americanization of Emily, but I have seen all his work. I don't really know if there is a James Garner type actor out there today, but if there is, he should be cast in a PT BOAT movie. Take care, TED [EndQuote]
