This a One of Kind Civil War movie

This a One of Kind Civil War movie Firt let me say that Virginia Madsen never looked as Beautiful as she does in this movie.

But this is the only Civil War movie that I've seen that deals with the naval battles. I think that this movie is very well crafted, and the cinematographic is wonderful. My only complaint about this movie is the dialog. At times the dialog is down right silly. However the actors do a great job with their roles The battle scenes are very well done.

If you are a history buff.. you will absolutely love this movie. It has no boring parts. Its just good. I hope someday it will be released on DVD, because my VHS copy is starting to show signs of wear and tear

Trivia
The Monitor and the Merrimack were re-created in models one third of their actual size, and the battle scenes between them were filmed in the big tank at Pinewood Studios, England.

Goofs
The U.S. sloop Cumberland is shown being destroyed by gunfire. In the actual battle it was sunk by ramming.

Quotes
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War: Where is the Monitor?
Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy: Commodore Smith?
[Smith wordlessly passes a dispatch to Davis]
Cmdr. Davis: The Monitor was last sighted off the Delaware-Maryland border, floundering in the very heavy weather.
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War: In other words, she may already be at the bottom of the ocean!
Abraham Lincoln: I'm sure the Monitor is still afloat. I look for her to be the veritable sling with a stone that smites the Merrimack Philistine in the forehead.
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War: Mr. President, do you really have that much faith in Ericsson's untested experiment?
Abraham Lincoln: I have that much faith in Providence, which did not create this great Union to see it be destroyed by the invention of a weapon. If the Monitor doesn't stop the Merrimack, something else will. Good night, gentlemen.
