Seapower

Seapower (1964)

** (out of 4)

This twenty-seven minute short was produced by the U.S. Department of the Navy and features Glenn Ford as the narrator. This here is basically a promotional piece that talks about how great the Navy is and why our shores are protected because of them. For the most part this is a mildly entertaining short as long as you're somewhat interested in the subject. There's a lot of speeches from John F. Kennedy used to bring up that patriotic feel and Ford's stern voice also pushes the viewer into believing that we're 100% safe. There's a lot of footage of explosions and various bombings that will also keep people amused.
