Movie Info

Leading a team of 36 commandos, Captain Charles Nelson (Errol Flynn) parachutes into Japanese-occupied Burma in hopes of destroying a critical radar base. The mission is a success, but when the group reaches the air strip where they expect to find planes ready to fly them to safety, they instead find a waiting Japanese army. With no choice but to attempt an escape on foot, Nelson splits his team in two and reluctantly heads into an impenetrable jungle.

    Sure it is exciting and gets the troops going but it is a film of its era..something created to rally the troops in the last years of the conflict in Asia but without full artistic merit.

    Typical WWII film suffers from overlenght but has a good cast.

    I've read reviews claiming that this is the "greatest war movie ever made". While I wouldn't go that far, it is a very good film and a classic example of WWII Hollywood propaganda. I say that with immense respect and admiration. This film did exactly what it was intended to do - it sold tickets, showcased the enormously talented Errol Flynn and supported our boys overseas.

    not a bad movie for an old movie. errol flynn seems to exceed my expectations whenever i watch something with him in. immediately when i read the description of a flick with him in i usually sigh to myself and think this will be boring, but something about him and his on screen magnestism draws me in and makes it interesting. a perhaps slightly too long movie but poignant especially when it comes to showing how the "monkeys" used to treat their P.O.W's. also the action sequences weren't too bad for an oldie. not quite tears of the sun but for it's time i imagine as engaging
