This is a great movie. Most British WWII movies are in black and white and have stiff upper lips all round. This gives a glimpse of the Pacific war from the regular infantry mans' perspective. An underrated Michael Cain movie.

I was a movie extra in this movie. During the Viet Nam War. Two Navel Ships were in port at the time. The USS Coral Sea and the USS Ranger. We were paid about 50 phillippino dollars and a free box lunch.

Filmed at the then US Naval Base at Subic Bay. Olongapo, which was part of the naval reservation was the last town in the Philippines to get independence from the US.

RIP Cliff Robertson

I liked Ken Takakura, who played the Japanese Army commander, Yamaguchi. He acted well in "Black Rain," starring Michael Douglas.

New Hebrides Islands in the South Pacific Islands. It is a Anglo-French Territory back in the days but in reality it wasn't invaded by the Japanese because US Naval Bases were built there in 1942 when the invasion of Australia was imminent.
This movie was filmed in Boracay Islands, Aklan, Phillippines.
I saw this movie back in the 70s. I wish I could find it again, it was a WW2 masterpiece. I agree with rocketman5000, this was one of Cain's best efforts. Thanks for posting.

@356butch Easy to find this movie, it's been available on DVD for about 10 years. I've even seen
it for sale at Wal-mart stores.
