“The navy documented the island campaign strategy in a number of combat documentary films. With The Marines at Tarawa (1944) and To the Shores of Iwo Jima (1945) one sees grim portrayals of the heavy cost in lives of invading and wrenching each island from its Japanese defenders. Fury in the Pacific (1944), Battle for the Marianas (1944) and The Fleet Came to Stay (1945) remain enduring visual documents of the ferocity of the war in the Pacific”.
(Vittorio Martinelli)
