Good concept, poorly executed.

A Brilliant Conflict

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Documentary short depicting the dangers of inadvertent dispersal of secret military information, showing the unintended and disastrous results of careless conversation and improper maintenance of secret records.This film had the unfortunate timing in having a scene about "sailing to Hawaii", or perhaps fortunate depending on how you look at it. The Pearl Harbor attack really illustrated how serious it could be if a secret were to get out.How interesting that this was made by Academy and not the War Department or something like that. And then to star Walter Huston, the patriarch of the Huston film family? And Eddie Bracken... wow. This was a very professional job.
