PT109鱼雷艇 (1963)
PT 109
本天雾号驱逐舰把比它小得多的PT-109撞成两段，肯尼迪的船员有两人丧生。肯尼迪花了这个晚上的其余时间帮助营救受伤船员。到破晓为止，这些生还者一直都趴在还漂浮着的船首上。直到最后得到支持盟军的罗门群岛居民的营救。两个岛民把肯尼迪刻有求救信号的那个著名的椰子转交给了美国海岸守卫队。在陷于困境6天后，肯尼迪和他的队员安全地登上了一艘姐妹艇PT－157。营救PT－109船员的生还之旅使肯尼迪获得战斗英雄的称号，亦是肯尼迪传奇的基石。

趣闻
PT 109 is a 1963 American Technicolor Panavision biographical war film depicting the actions of John F. Kennedy as an officer of the United States Navy in command of Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 in the Pacific theater of World War II. The film was adapted by Vincent Flaherty and Howard Sheehan from the book PT 109: John F. Kennedy in World War II by Robert J. Donovan, and the screenplay was written by Richard L. Breen. Cliff Robertson stars as Kennedy, with featured performances by Ty Hardin, James Gregory, Robert Culp and Grant Williams.
Production
Kennedy's father, Joseph Kennedy Sr., had been the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain at the onset of World War II, as well as an influential Hollywood producer and former head of RKO studio. He negotiated the film rights to Donovan's 1961 biography of his son. The film was made under the "personal supervision" of Warner's head of production, Jack L. Warner.
Among other actors considered for the lead were Peter Fonda, who objected to having to deliver his screen test using an impersonation of Kennedy's voice; Warren Beatty (Jacqueline Kennedy's choice); Jeffrey Hunter, who had just finished playing Jesus Christ in King of Kings; and Warner Bros Television contract stars Edd Byrnes, Peter Brown, Chad Everett and Roger Smith.
Though Robertson was stockier and 13 years older than Kennedy had been in the South Pacific, having served in the Merchant Marine as a third mate during World War II, he was chosen because (as Alvin Cluster told him), "The President picked you not only because you were a fine actor but because you're young looking, yet mature enough so that the world won't get the idea the President was being played by a parking lot attendant or something." This…
Kennedy also vetoed Raoul Walsh as director after screening and panning Walsh's Marines Let's Go.
Original director Lewis Milestone, who had previously filmed All Quiet on the Western Front, A Walk in the Sun and Pork Chop Hill, left the production, either because Milestone thought that the script was inadequate or because the studio was unhappy with cost overruns. Milestone was replaced by Leslie Martinson, a television director with little experience making films.
