I had read the book and when I saw the movie I was able to identify
every character before they spoke - terrific casting.

I didn't see PT-109. I don't remember the reason, maybe I thought it
was a Kennedy production? I don't remember.


On display at Key Largo:

This pic was taken in 2001. They would take it out on charters. I
think the steam engine worked, but they preferred to use the outboard.


The photo, on my small screen, was too small for me to read the sign.
Was this the actual boat used in the movie?
Cheers,
