★★★ · And they do it silently! · Spuzz · 2003-11-09

This Castle film has a lot of great footage of the Japs surrendering after the atomic bomb hit them. (The reporters get wind of the surrender news and go nuts, a great scene!) The film focuses mainly on the surrender signing on the ummm.. USS Missouri? Anyways, much fanfare and speeches are made, but we never hear them as the film is silent which is somewhat of a shame. Anyways, as I said, for those curious about the footage but never has seen it, well, here it is! :)
