3 out of 5 stars A nice movie, well acted , but a little slow in places.......2007-04-12

As a child I remember watching this one with my Dad and enjoying it very much. I wish you could give half stars because that is what I would give this. The cast is first rate with special honors going to Jeff Chandler and his turn as the Captain. He really show what command must be like. We see the worry over his crew and how he has to ride them hard sometime to keep them ready to do their jobs and still shows the feeling of loneliness that goes with the job. My only problem with this film is that it tends to drag in some spots, but still I think most fans of war movies, the Navy, and older movies will enjoy this one.

5 out of 5 stars Away All Boats.......2007-03-13

A typical black and white film with a superb story and a brilliant actor in Jeff Chandler

1 out of 5 stars This DVD is a copy of a VHS tape.......2006-03-18

Good Times is selling a Chinese/Asian rip-off of a VHS tape. No wide screen, no digital upgrade.

The movie itself is excellent but don't waste your money on this thing.

4 out of 5 stars Away All Boats.......2004-12-19

I'm also a Navy Vietnam-era veteran and I do love this film. I had recorded it years ago and now can't find the tape so I am sure I will be getting the DVD here. This movie was filmed, in part, aboard the Amphibious Transport ship USS SANDOVAL APA (LPA) 194. I was stationed on this ship in 1968-69 until we decommissioned her. Watching the landing exercises in this film brought back many memories as I was part of 2nd Division which was the boat division and we were "graded" on our readiness.
This has good acting and alot of adventure. The script was a bit hoaky at times but that can be overlooked. I highly recommend this film. Get it and Set Condition One-Alpha!

4 out of 5 stars High Marks from a Navy Vet! .......2004-08-21

I was a big fan of Chandler as a boy in the 1950's. My personal favorites of his from then and as an adult are Pillars of the Sky and Yankee Pasha. As always with older films, you have to put them in the context of the time in which they were made as far as style, realism, etc. Believe me, this guy was handsome to the ladies and a man's man to the guys....tons of on screen magnetism.

The main thing I want to add about both Chandler and this movie is my experience watching this film as a Navy officer aboard a ship of the very same type during the Viet Nam era. The title of the film refers to the fact that the ship (the Belinda, as I recall) was an amphibious cargo ship, one which carries marine vehicles, anchors off the coast, lowers boats ("away all boats") into the water and drops the vehicles into the boats for the trip to the beach with U.S Marines who drive them ashore and onward. In the officers' wardroom aboard the USS El Paso in the early '70's, we watched this movie multiple times and loved it as well done and realistic.

We did get some big chuckles out of the casting comparing actors like Richard Boone ("Have Gun Will Travel") playing, I think, the First Lieutenant, and Lex Barker (Tarzan) as the Executive Officer and comparing these guys to our own counterparts. We all thought the film was "Navy" all the way, however. I'm not sure if these amphibious cargo ships are still in operation, but they were used through the first Gulf War.

This movie is realistic and an accurate depiction of a U.S.Navy amphibious ship during wartime. Chandler is certainly the main man in the story but does not dominate to quite the same extent as in some of his other films. He is good in the role, however, and this is an authentic depiction of Navy life and a good story.
