...Fighting Lady (U.S. Navy-20th Century-Fox) is the fiercely beautiful and thrilling color record of an aircraft carrier's career from her launching through her first half-dozen engagements.* It was shot during the past couple of years by a crew of six enlisted men, coached by famed photographer Captain Edward Steichen, and directed by Lieut. Commander Dwight Long. Their combined mileage was cut to its present 7,500 feet and 60 minutes by Fox's Louis de Rochemont, first producer of the MARCH OF TIME, whose first Hollywood film this is.
