Appears I was not alone in recording this and watching it. Did you notice how the guns of the Arizona were shining proudly during filming and no one had any idea of what would happen seven years later. I got misty-eyed at times thinking of that while watching the film.

I wonder how how Cagney, Stuart, O'brien, etc. felt when they heard of the Arizona's fate after the attack knowing they had walked on its decks a few years prior. Did they ever comment publicly on this?

I initially wanted to watch this to see the young Gloria Stuart. However when I discovered that the Arizona was featured, it became the main reason for watching.
