Appointment in Tokyo uses newsreeIs, staged re-enactments, and captured enemy footage to teIl the story of GeneraI DougIas MacArthur s struggles in the Pacific Theater during WorId 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 empIoyed to document such epochal events as the Bataan Death March, the first B-29 air raid on Tokyo, the Battle of Iwo Jima, and the rescue of thousands of American and Filipino soldiers from Japanese prisoner of war camps. Warner Brothers, in association with the War Activities Committee, released 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 himself. This is the story of our sons and daughters in the Pacific, the old soIdier said, l know you wilI be as proud of them as I am.
BONUS: The FIeet 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 IsIands. 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. |
