A few corny moments aside, Objective Burma must rate as one of the best combat films of WW2. Errol Flynn stars as Captain Nelson, who leads a hardy band of paratroopers behind enemy lines in Burma, for the purpose of destroying a Japanese radar station. Their mission accomplished, Nelson and his men prepare to make their escape by plane, but this proves to be impossible. It is therefore necessary for the surviving paratroops to make a grueling 150-mile journey by foot through the Japanese-held
Unrated, 2 hr. 22 min.

...a rousing adventure yarn--exciting, thoughtful, and entertaining. (TCM Spotlight: Errol Flynn Adventures)
The director alone should tell you all you need to know about this Errol Flynn set: Raoul Walsh.
Grim war film, that suffers from a racist treatment of the Japanese.
Typical WWII film suffers from overlenght but has a good cast.

Any one who has ever liked any of the "team flix" made about WWII (Guns of Navarrone, Dirty Dozen, etc.) should watch this. Not only as one of the first ones, it is seminal, but is truly better than anything ever made since. It is extremely gritty, raw and yet full of spirit and admiration for the super-human task
