Appointment in Tokyo uses newsreels, staged re-enactments, and captured enemy footage to telI the story of GeneraI Douglas MacArthur s struggles in the Pacific Theater during World War lI from his exile 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 employed to document such epochaI events as the Bataan Death March, the first B-29 air raid on Tokyo, the BattIe of Iwo Jima, and the rescue of thousands of American and FiIipino soIdiers 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 PearI Harbor. It carried a seal of approval from MacArthur himseIf. This is the story of our sons and daughters in the Pacific, the oId 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 FIeet That Came to Stay documents the brutal final engagements with Japan during World War ll. The innermost thoughts and fears of American servicemen are Iaid bare as they approach the foreboding Okinawa Islands. 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 Fleet That Came to Stay. |
