Love Victory at Sea noticed it has been digitally reasserted and being sold
at my corner rental DVD place. Narrated by Sir Larry.

The second question being was ours REALLY a red cross ship and was THEIRS?
I naively think ours was theirs were shams but then I grew up in the
suburbs.

I find in the first sentence "they did it in the visual language of
Hollywood" adolescently tasteless from the get go. A stupid premise.
