When that movie was made, it was also a very belatedly recognition outside the army itself of the great struggle and sacrifice these Bhuddaheads had shown. They had deserved it already while fighting in Europe. They were Americans no matter what their ancestry and despite the hostile treatment they were subjected to by the nation in the initial years of the war.
4:39 Watched an interview of Colonel Young Oak Kim who was an officer in the 100th Infantry. He recalled the unit had a well oiled process of newly assinged officers requesting and getting transferred out of the unit. Many newly assigned officers requested and did get transferred out from the unit because they didn't want to be near the Japanese American soldiers.
When are they going to colorize this movie! My mom an her friends love van Johnson! But when my dad walked by them they say, allan Ladd, Richard Widmark, throw in a little Paul Newman! They cracked me up!
I've got this on a box set I got from Walmart for five bucks 15 years ago. One of the best purchases I ever made
True American heroes.
Hiroshi Hershey was among them, Medal Of Honor recipient with the 3rd infantry Division in Korea but was a member of the 442nd
Great war film. VCI finally put out a decent DVD copy of the film. It also has no copyright, and appears on many box sets, but not as good of quality.
