In 1991 Delbert Mann directed a made-for-TV

"Hearts In Bondage" (1936) The Civil War battle between the ships Monitor and Merrimac serves as the backdrop for this adventure/drama. Starring James Dunn, Mae Clarke, David Manners, Charlotte Henry, George Hayes and Smiley Burnette. Directorial debut of Lew Ayers. 72 Minutes. Apparently the story was heavily fictionalized.
