[StartQuote] Yeah, Ted, I hear ya, but...of course, the problem would've been getting the boats for the filming. As Larry said, they couldn't even scrape up ONE real PT for the filming of "PT 109," and Warner Bros. had to (if I correctly remember the press coverage on the filming back in the day) outbid Castro's Cuba to purchase the three (and only three) 85' Air-Sea Rescue boats they used and converted to look like 80' Elcos. Those converted 85-footers looked pretty good, but I'm sure It cost Warner Bros. the proverbial arm and a leg to work them up for the movie, so the major costs involved would always be an issue . There were ersatz PTs in "In Harm's Way" and "MacArthur," (briefly), but they really didn't didn't look much like real MTBs [EndQuote]
