1 The day fighting began, Israel had asked that American ships be removed from its coast or that it be notified of the precise location of U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry found that the Liberty's flag was very likely drooped and not discernible moreover, members of the crew, including the Captain, Commander William McGonagle, testified that the flag was knocked down after the first or second assault.Īccording to Israeli Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin's memoirs, there were standing orders to attack any unidentified vessel near the shore. Under Israeli (and U.S.) naval doctrine at the time, a ship proceeding at that speed was presumed to be a warship. For example, the Liberty was first reported - incorrectly, as it turned out - to be cruising at 30 knots (it was later recalculated to be 28 knots). Numerous mistakes were made by both the United States and Israel. Ships from the Sixth Fleet were directed to launch four attack aircraft with fighter cover to defend the Liberty, but the planes were recalled after a message was received at the White House that the Israelis had admitted they had attacked the ship. The Israelis mistakenly thought this was the ship shelling its soldiers and war planes and torpedo boats attacked, killing 34 members of the Liberty's crew and wounding 171.
The incident 1967 series#
As a result of a series of United States communication failures, whereby messages directing the ship not to approach within 100 miles were not received by the Liberty, the ship sailed to within 14 miles off the Sinai coast. The United States had announced that it had no naval forces within hundreds of miles of the battle front on the floor of the United Nations a few days earlier however, the USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship under the dual control of the Defense Intelligence Agency/Central Intelligence Agency and the Sixth Fleet, was assigned to monitor the fighting. On June 8, 1967, the fourth day of the Six-Day War, the Israeli high command received reports that Israeli troops in El Arish were being fired upon from the sea, presumably by an Egyptian vessel, as they had a day before. Ten official United States investigations and three official Israeli inquiries have all conclusively established the attack was a tragic mistake. The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was a grievous error, largely attributable to the fact that it occurred in the midst of the confusion of a full-scale war in 1967. Carol Anne Seflinger is also excelle.The USS Liberty Incident: Table of Contents| Photographs| "Case Closed" Don Gordon is excellent as the punchy washed up boxer. I had it on a DVR that died & I've looked for this since it first aired. I have been looking for a copy of Skyward for decades. īoth the Teen Town show and The Apollo film are worth seeing, but the Apollo film is just non-stop excellence. Just like the previous reviewer, I also purchased both volumes, and am enjoying them immensely. A must see for James Stacy fansĪwesome to see all the mid century stuff NEW!!!
Excellent quality and a mu.Įxcellent good quality movie.
The incident 1967 movie#
I tried everywhere to locate this movie and found it on Videobeat. On par with most beach sun/surf/snow skiing teen movies.Įxcellent quality movie. Eddie Applegate, who played "Richard" on the Patty Duke Show, plays the new boyfriend who makes Dave jealous-but Dave's hair is much cooler. Look for: awesome 1950s haircuts and clothes (seriously!), cool malt shop scenes, 1950s jukebox and pinball machines, hot rods, school classroom and hallway social interaction. But it doesn't end there: Dave's emotional instability becomes a cascading shower of maliciousness and destructive behavior.
What's a 1950s teenager to do? Dave slashes the tires of his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend's hot rod. A classroom social guidance film that feels just like a juvenile delinquent movie! It's the story of Dave: his girlfriend just dumped him his father thinks he is a loser, and the football coach has benched him. Very cool and rockin' soundtrack by Terry Knight.ĬAN. This film takes JDs to the nth degree! 1967 audiences must have flipped out! Tony Musante (1st film), Martin Sheen (1st film), Beau Bridges, Ed McMahon, Thelma Ritter, Jan Sterling, Jack Gilford, Brock Peters, Donna Mills, Ruby Dee, Diana Van Der Vlis. The JDs set a bum on fire and get very creepy-weird with the gay man.Ĭool camera work. Among them are an angry black man, an alcoholic, a terrified Jewish couple, a know-it-all douche bag, two army buddies, and a homosexual. After mugging an old man, two switchblade-wielding, psycho punks take over a New York City subway car and, in turns, terrorize each passenger.
Fantastic JD film in black & white with the look, feel and slang of a 50s JD movie.
