SAILING

ON THE

SILVER

SCREEN

HOLLYWOOD AND

THE U.S. NAVY

過去九十載美國海軍與影業雙方以互利互惠的方式合作，好萊塢藉由海軍的協助，毫不費力地取得人力、設備以及場地等資源，拍攝許許多多冒險、羅曼史以及劇情電影。反之，美國海軍同樣輕輕鬆鬆地經由大螢幕建立其正面形象，藉此招募更多新血，並與國會建立良好的軍政關係。

直到韓戰爆發才打破雙方互利互惠的合作模式，然而，依照本書針對海軍與影業互動的研究顯示，隨著《太空先鋒》（The Right Stuff）、《捍衛戰士》（Top Gun）、《獵殺紅色十月號》（Hunt for Red October）之類的電影陸續上映，美國海軍又再次假手大銀幕建立良好的公關形象。

作者詳實蒐羅紀錄電影產業從古至今，美國海軍透過好萊塢打造良好公關形象的歷史，探究多達百部此類公關電影對於軍民的潛在影響，分析大卡司強片《捍衛戰士》播映後，強力提升美國海軍自越戰後所亟需的正面形象，並分析影片帶來的種種漣漪效應。

For most of the past ninety years the American film industry and the U.S. Navy have worked together to their mutual benefit. Hollywood used the Navy to obtain—at little or no cost—personnel, equipment, and locations for movies filled with adventure, romance, and drama. In turn, the Navy obtained—at little or no cost—a positive public image that boosted both its recruiting efforts and its relations with Congress. The Vietnam War effectively disrupted this pattern of cooperation, but, as this study of the Nave's interaction with filmmakers shows, movies like The Right Stuff reestablished the Navy's favourable image on the silver screen.

The author provides a fully documented history of the making of the Navy's image on film from the movie industry's earliest days. He goes behind the scenes for deliberations about the potential impact of certain movies on both the military and civilians, and examines the ripple effect of such watershed films as Top Gun, a movie that initially gave the Navy a needed post-Vietnam boost. However, when the Tailhook scandal erupted and the conduct of some aviators was attributed to the "flyboy" image projected in the movie, Top Gun became a liability. Lawrence Suid's inside revelations about the Navy's cinematic input range from pre-World War I to post-Cold War. More than 100 films, as varied as Annapolis and Hunt for Red October, are analyzed for their portrayal of the Navy. The book's focus is on feature films, but relevant documentaries and made-for-television movies are also discussed. Suid draws on original documents from the Department of Defense, National Archives, and private collections, and from interviews with more than 100 filmmakers, naval officers, and government officials.
