presaging fiction

[edit]

Across the Pacific a 1942 American spy film set on the eve of the entry of the United States into World War II. It was directed first by John Huston, then by Vincent Sherman after Huston joined the United States Army Signal Corps. It stars Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, and Sydney Greenstreet. Despite the title, the action never progresses across the Pacific, concluding in Panama. The original script portrayed an attempt to avert a Japanese plan to invade Pearl Harbor. When the real-life attack on Pearl Harbor occurred, production was shut down for three months, resuming on March 2, 1942, with a revised script changing the target to Panama.[1][2]

The screenplay by Richard Macauley was an adaptation of a Saturday Evening Post serial by Robert Carson, “Aloha Means Goodbye”, published June 28–July 26, 1941.[3][4]

Battle cruisers

[edit]

The Heie and Kirishima should more correctly be labeled as battle cruisers, not battleships. So we should say that there were 2 Japanese Battlecruisers in the task force, and no Battleships. ~2025-39080-31 (talk) 19:24, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
