This is a fine film with mostly British actors in it and tells the story of soldiers who had become cut off in WW2 on a Pacific ocean Island. And the fact they did not really care for Army life. An interesting take on war in this part of the world

One of my favourite films this, as it shows soldiers in a less than heroic light, eventually redeeming themselves - a lot like one of the director's earlier films - The Dirty Dozen. This time the action takes place in the Pacific theatre at the height of the Second World War. The film is filled with British character actors and features a brief cameo from Henry Fonda, but it is Cliff Robertson and Michael Caine who make this film their own, by allowing themselves to be portrayed in an unusually ugly self-serving light for them both. Lots of boys-own action in this one - ideal for a sunday afternoon or late night's post-pub viewing. Presented in 16:9 Letterbox format and in Doby Digital Sound (Stereo compatible), this DVD does however have a special features section, although these are mainly biographies and production notes.Read full review
