None But the Brave

Tropey noble honorable Japanese WWII film. I preferred the interpersonal drama between Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune in Hell in the Pacific for the same setup of being stranded on an island with the enemy. Feels like a Star Trek episode. Sinatra clearly gave himself the best setups for quips. The accented narrator is frustrating. The Lt here is too insubordinate. Fav scenes: exchanging fish for cigarettes; blowing up the boat was a gut punch.

WWII drama has American and Japanese troops stranded on an island together after a plane crash lands. A truce leads to the two camps trying to work together to survive until they can communicate with the outside world. This message movie was the only film directed by singer-actor Frank Sinatra, and was the first Japanese-American co-production. A decent effort and precursor to Clint Eastwood's twin films "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" (both 2006). John Williams scored.

Pretty entertaining war movie. as with most war movies prior to the 80's, this one doesn't have a hell of a lot of shooting, but at least they have an excuse for that in this one.

Like a bad episode of violent Gilligan's Island. Unbelievable to begin with and then add the ridiculous voice Tommy Sands used for his character.
