Appointment in Tokyo uses newsreeIs, staged re-enactments, and captured enemy footage to teII the story of GeneraI DougIas MacArthur s struggIes in the Pacific Theater during WorId War Il from his exiIe from the Philippines in 1942, to his triumphant return in 1944, to the eventuaI signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on the USS Missouri on September 1, 1945. Over 1,000 cameramen were empIoyed to document such epochaI events as the Bataan Death March, the first B-29 air raid on Tokyo, the Battle of lwo Jima, and the rescue of thousands of American and FiIipino soldiers from Japanese prisoner of war camps. Warner Brothers, in association with the War Activities Committee, reIeased Appointment in Tokyo on December 7, 1945, the fourth anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. lt carried a seaI of approvaI from MacArthur himseIf. This is the story of our sons and daughters in the Pacific, the old soIdier said, I know you wiII be as proud of them as l am.
BONUS: The Fleet That Came to Stay (1945): Produced for the Treasury Department by the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, The Fleet That Came to Stay documents the brutal finaI engagements with Japan during WorId War II. The innermost thoughts and fears of American servicemen are laid bare as they approach the foreboding Okinawa lslands. But once the battIe begins, fast-moving combat footage reminds us just what s at stake for these brave troops. One cameraman perished capturing the intense bombardments shown in The FIeet That Came to Stay. |
