What film was this from? I don't know. I'm pretty sure I didn't dream it.

Capt. Rock Torrey (John Wayne) and Cmdr. Egan Powell (Burgess Meredith) talking the night before the big surface battle in In Harm's Way
Not that unusual in war movies, but a little more life-like than the usual "I'm scared Sarge." "I am too, soldier."

Powell: Rock…in the morning…what’s it like? A surface battle?
Rock: Like any other battle, I guess; maybe a little noisier.
Powell: I’m so scared my bones are clicking…like dice on a Reno crap table. I should be back in Hollywood, sitting in front of a typewriter, making all this up for a movie, not living it.
Rock: All battles are fought by scared men who’d rather be someplace else.
Powell: Does that include admirals?
Rock: Yes.

In Harm's Way. I love that damned movie, toy boats and all.

In Harm's Way. I love that damned movie, toy boats and all.

Absolutely! Some great scenes:
That one with Rock and Egan
The one with Eddington slappin' Owynn around, which also was a wake-up-and-grow-up scene for Jere.
The reunion of dad and estranged son, Rock and Jeremiah.


As always Mr. Goldmith added just the right touch.

Bonus - Dana Andrews as the glory-seeking Admiral Broaderick was great.
He and Patrick O'neal and initially, anyway, Bandon DeWilde just made you want to whack 'em.

And the assault and aftermath part with Kirk Douglas - pretty intense for 1965!

Still pouting that the music from the sub stalking scene and the impending mine encounter wasn't included in the filmscore CD. Ah, well.

Yeah, I love In Harm's Way, & I have a lovely HD transfer of it on my planner recorded from Film Four (a UK movie channel). I think the model ships look fine, there's model ships used in almost every WW2 Navy film.

Extract from TV series The Deuce, about 70s 80s porn industry and prostitution. Dont normally get film-standard dialogue on tv but Deuce has been very good.

One of the enforcers at the parlour called Black Frankie who looks after the prostitutes is telling the manager Bobby Dwyer and his son a story...

"...When i was in Rykers...there was this one guy went by the name Spanish Joe. Mocked me soon as i came in. I dont know why. Certain guys just be angry like that. Gotta look down on someone. He told me straight up: 'im about to murder yo ass.' It was his big mistake. Some guys just run their gums too long. My man Tuco said 'When you have shoot, shoot! Dont talk!' .....Spanish Joe gave me time to think, so i made a decision. Got friendly with a guard, he passed me one of those machinist's screwdrivers...long shaft. One morning i caught up with Spanish Joe in the showers. Want to get a man when hes most vunerable? You hit him while hes nek. Got him in a head lock and drove that screwdriver into his eye. All the way to the handle. Buried the motherfucker in his brain...You see? He thought it was gonna go a certain way...but it was me who wrote the end his story..."

Parlour manager Bobby Dwyer: "...Who the fuck is Tuco?"

Bill, your "The Deuce" quote sounds like the one you Terence Stamp delivered in THE LIMEY, but then everything tends to remind me of THE LIMEY:

"How you doin' then? All right, are you? Now look, squire, you're the guv'nor here, I can see that. I'm in your manor now. So there's no need to get your knickers in a twist. Whatever this bollocks is that's going down between you and that slag Valentine, it's got nothing to do with me. I couldn't care less. Alright, mate? Let me explain. When I was in prison - second time - uh, no, telling a lie, third stretch, yeah, third, third - there was this screw what really had it in for me, and that geezer was top of my list. Two years after I got sprung, I sees him in Arnold Park. He's sittin' on a bench feedin' bloody pigeons. There was no-one about, I could've gone up behind him and snapped his f***in' neck, *wallop!* But I left it. I could've knobbled him, but I didn't. 'Cause what I thought I wanted wasn't what I wanted. What I thought I was thinkin' about was something else. I didn't give a toss. It didn't matter, see? This berk on the bench wasn't worth my time. It meant sod-all in the end, 'cause you gotta make a choice: when to do something, and when to let it go. When it matters, and when it don't. Bide your time. That's what prison teaches you, if nothing else. Bide your time, and everything becomes clear, and you can act accordingly."

Yes, somewhat similar. Although black frankie delivered his slow and unhurried, in a quiet whisper, like he was an ex rykers con who had turned to acting. Terence stamp delivered his more like a mockney cockney trying too hard to be tough, like a bad Steven Berkoff exaggerration in the Krays.

Slightly OT: I haven't watched the scene you've quoted and it may not even apply to it specifically, but the "intense, low-burning" style of acting (think Christian Bale) often times comes off just as florid and over the top as something Bette Davis might have done!
