... that the 1936 film Hearts in Bondage is a rare example of a Hollywood film depicting naval battles of the Civil War? Source: "Yet few films, with the prominent exception of the 1936 motion picture Hearts in Bondage, have attempted to put Civil War naval warfare, or even components of it, on celluloid until Ted Turner did so for cable television in the 1990s". (Gone with the Glory); "The only sound film ... to deal with the naval warfare between the Federals and the Confederates is Republic's Hearts in Bondage" (The Cinema of the Sea)
ALT1:... that the Civil War naval battle between the ironcladsCSS Virginia and USS Monitor was convincingly staged using scale models in the 1936 film Hearts in Bondage? Source: "The real stars of Hearts in Bondage are Republic's special-effects mavens Howard and Theodore Lydecker, whose splendid utilization of scale models in the climactic Monitor-Merrimac confrontation is both exciting and convincing".
