To direct the photography, Levin chose Burnett Guffey, ASC, who won an Academy Award in 1954 for the photography of the similarly-titled "From Here To Eternity." The first scenes photographed on the Okinawa location were made at the Army's Ishikawa Recreation Beach, re­ dressed to serve as a camp in Hawaii. But after two days of near perfect weather, the company moved to Kin­ waki beach to film the massive amphib­ ious invasions scenes.

  • World War Ii and Us Cinema
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORLD WAR II AND U.S. CINEMA: RACE, NATION, AND REMEMBRANCE IN POSTWAR FILM, 1945-1978 Robert Keith Chester, Ph.D., 2011 Co-Directed By: Dr. Gary Gerstle, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Dr. Nancy Struna, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park This dissertation interrogates the meanings retrospectively imposed upon World War II in U.S. motion pictures released between 1945 and the mid-1970s. Focusing on combat films and images of veterans in postwar settings, I trace representations of World War II between war‘s end and the War in Vietnam, charting two distinct yet overlapping trajectories pivotal to the construction of U.S. identity in postwar cinema. The first is the connotations attached to U.S. ethnoracial relations – the presence and absence of a multiethnic, sometimes multiracial soldiery set against the hegemony of U.S. whiteness – in depictions of the war and its aftermath. The second is Hollywood‘s representation (and erasure) of the contributions of the wartime Allies and the ways in which such images engaged with and negotiated postwar international relations. Contrary to notions of a ―good war‖ untainted by ambiguity or dissent, I argue that World War II gave rise to a conflicted cluster of postwar meanings. At times, notably in the early postwar period, the war served as a progressive summons to racial reform. At other times, the war was inscribed as a historical moment in which U.S. racism was either nonexistent or was laid permanently to rest. In regard to the Allies, I locate a Hollywood dialectic between internationalist and unilateralist remembrances.

  • 1 U.S. Latino Patriots: from the American Revolution to Afghanistan
    U.S. Latino Patriots: From the American Revolution to Afghanistan, An Overview By Refugio I. Rochin and Lionel Fernandez Background The mission of the Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives is to disseminate and advance understanding and knowledge of the contributions of Latinas and Latinos to the culture, society, history, arts, and sciences of the United States (U.S.). Since its inaugural opening on August 10, 1998, the Center has taken an active role in developing knowledge of the accomplishments of Latinas/os, “Latino Patriots” and their role in U.S. military history. Under the direction of Refugio I. Rochin, research has been conducted, data collected, and text prepared at the Smithsonian Institution by Lionel Fernandez, a volunteer at the Center for Latino Initiatives. Jose Alonzo Oliveros, a former fellow at the Center under the auspices of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (FY 2000), initially prepared the groundwork for this project. This research has explored the feasibility of developing an exhibition at the Smithsonian to document the contributions of Hispanic Americans in military conflicts since the American Revolution where the U.S. has played an active role. This history dates back to the colonial era with the onset of the American Revolution and spans more than 200 years to include contemporary military conflicts. The Smithsonian’s collections include more than 140 million objects and archival materials. These include military memorabilia of U.S. war periods. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is the primary repository of materials that involve the participation of Latinas/os in U.S. military engagements.

    REPORT OF THE CHIEF LEGISLATIVE ANALYST August 30, 2006 TO: Honorable Members, Intergovernental Relations Committee FROM: Gerr F. Miler ~k1 C.F.06-l727 Chief Legislative AnaiYst Assignent No. 06-08-1362 Guy Gabaldon: Recommended to Receive the Congressional Medal of Honor CLA RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution (Huizar - Reyes) to encourage the President, the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. Marine Corps to recognize Guy Gabaldon's accomplishments during World War 11 and honor him with the Congressional Medal of Honor. SUMMARY: The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force and can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. It is generally presented to its recipient by the President of the United States of America in the name of Congress. Captain John Schwabe ofthe 2nd Marnes recommended Guy Gabaldon for the Congressional Medal of Honor, but that recommendation was not honored and this highest commendation has not yet been bestowed upon Gabaldon. No specific reason has been identified as to why this recommendation was not honored. However, Steve Rubin, producer of the documentary about Guy Gabaldon's life entitled East L.A. Marine: The Untold True Story o/Guy Gabaldon, states that "...it appeared there was discrimination in the military, particularly in the Marine Corps." He further states that "(the documentary) will...look at what Gabaldon did in Saipan and why he and other Hispanic Americans and Jewish Americans who served as Marines received lesser awards." In 2001, Congress passed a law that required the Secretary of each military department to review the service records of any Jewish American or Hispanic American war veteran.

    Inventing the Latino/a Hero: ‘Legality’ and the Representation of Latino/a Heroic Figures in U.S. Film, Television, and Comics Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jorge Mauricio Espinoza, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Ignacio Corona, Advisor Frederick Aldama Guisela Latorre Laura Podalsky Copyright by Mauricio Espinoza 2015 Abstract The heroic narratives appearing in U.S. popular culture have been traditionally dominated by Anglo characters, with limited spaces for the representation of ethnic minorities. When they do appear in these narratives, ethnic minorities typically occupy the roles of subservient sidekicks or stereotyped villains—whose main functions, respectively, are to aid the Anglo hero in his pursuits and to serve as cannon fodder in order to highlight his superiority. While few in number, the presence of ethnic minority heroes in popular culture narratives becomes important for examining and understanding the limitations and possibilities of positive portrayals by and about members of historically marginalized communities in the United States. Inventing the Latino/a Hero explores the historical representation of U.S. Latino/a heroic figures and heroism discourses in film, television, and comics. This study concentrates on hero narratives that directly explore, interrogate, or wrestled with the issue of legality, which is central to the construction of Latino/a heroes and their narratives’ relationship with ideology and power relations. In this regard, I contend that Latino/a heroes either challenge the dominant, often oppressive system of U.S.
