{"product_id":"stand-by-for-action","title":"Stand by for Action","description":"Not long after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. scrambles for ships to put to sea -- ships like the dry-docked WWI destroyer Warren. An \"old Noah's Ark,\" scoffs Lt. Gregg Masterman (Robert Taylor), a Harvard-schooled Bostonian ensconced in a cushy desk job. Care to guess who will be volunteered to be the aged ship's executive officer? The character of a callow young man who ultimately proves his worth is one Taylor had played before, notably in A Yank at Oxford and Flight Command. A stellar cast -- Charles Laughton, Brian Donlevy, Walter Brennan -- joins him in a tale that veers into comic waters (the crew become awkward caretakers of a bevy of infants rescued at sea) before steaming full ahead into the strategies and salvos of fiery battle action in the Pacific. Taylor would actually serve as a Navy Air Corps flight instructor during the war. Lovely Marilyn Maxwell, who debuts here, would entertain troops as a member of Bob Hope's USO tours.","brand":"Warner Archive","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45815647895702,"sku":"883316499771","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/883316499771.jpg?v=1762477444","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/stand-by-for-action","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
