CLASSIC WAR COLLECTION (MIDWAY / RAID ON ROMMEL / MACARTHUR)

MIDWAY
A star-studded World War II drama about the great air and naval battle in which the Americans, outnumbered by the Japanese won military supremacy in the Pacific. Leading them to their heroic victory is Admiral Nimitz and Captain Matt Garth, the latter a junior officer whose life is complicated by his son's romance with a Japanese-American girl.

RAID ON ROMMEL
Infiltrating a German POW convoy, Captain Foster (Burton) learns that the commandos he hoped to link up with have been almost completely wiped out, and the prisoners belong to a British medical unit. Aided by MacKenzie (John Colicos), one of the surviving commandos, he vows to carry out his mission, which is further complicated by the presence of an Italian general's mistress (Danielle de Metz). Together, Foster and Mac whip the ragtag band of POWs into a fighting force that overthrows and impersonates its captors - only to stumble into an unexpected meeting with Rommel (Wolfgang Preiss)!

MACARTHUR
General Douglas MacArthur (Gregory Peck), one of the most controversial public figures of our time, is the subject of this superb biographical drama which traces his outstanding career. In 1942, with his position in the Philippines made hopeless by Japan's destruction of more than half the planes in his Far East Command, MacArthur leaves pledging 'I shall return!' MacArthur does return, with riveting victories in the Pacific and the deft handling of the democratization of Japan; he is also armed with Presidential aspirations. While serving in Korea, it is there that his colossal ego and insubordination results in dismissal by Truman in 1951. MacArthur is a compelling story which explores the many facets of his ambitious character. It clearly demonstrates his brilliance as a strategist; his lust for publicity and flair for dramatics.
