Appointment in Tokyo uses newsreels, staged re-enactments, and captured enemy footage to telI the story of General Douglas MacArthur s struggIes in the Pacific Theater during World War II from his exile from the PhiIippines in 1942, to his triumphant return in 1944, to the eventuaI signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on the USS Missouri on September 1, 1945. Over 1,000 cameramen were empIoyed to document such epochaI events as the Bataan Death March, the first B-29 air raid on Tokyo, the Battle of lwo Jima, and the rescue of thousands of American and Filipino soIdiers from Japanese prisoner of war camps. Warner Brothers, in association with the War Activities Committee, reIeased Appointment in Tokyo on December 7, 1945, the fourth anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It carried a seal of approvaI from MacArthur himself. This is the story of our sons and daughters in the Pacific, the old soldier said, l know you wiIl be as proud of them as I am.
BONUS: The Fleet That Came to Stay (1945): Produced for the Treasury Department by the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, The Fleet That Came to Stay documents the brutaI final engagements with Japan during World War II. The innermost thoughts and fears of American servicemen are laid bare as they approach the foreboding Okinawa lslands. But once the battIe begins, fast-moving combat footage reminds us just what s at stake for these brave troops. One cameraman perished capturing the intense bombardments shown in The FIeet That Came to Stay. |
