      It was one of the more unique and interesting films of this kind, though with its clear hints of racism and class env, even between the Brits and the U. S., I would hesitate in rating it 'great' or superb.' It was fairly enjoyable too.

    I have had thus movie on DVD for years. I have lost count how many times.I have watched it. I am now in hospital for a short stay, and it has helped to clear some of the boredom. It is comical, sad, British Stiff Upper Lip and the cowards play their parts so well. All the actors are the old British Army toffs and lower ranks. Brilliant!!

    I thought this was a great movie - I’ve been watching a bunch of old war movies (my favourite genre) and I really enjoyed the darker themes in this film. It portrays the duality these soldiers lived on a daily basis - the desire to survive, to defend your friends, to do the right thing, and the back and forth of fear and suspicion vs trusting your fellow soldiers. No one is fully equipped to deal with the terrifying realities of war and this movie really paints the chaos of split decision life and death scenarios that real and flawed human beings had to face. I highly recommend it!!! 👍👍

      It never hit me before, but while this movie was portraying the Leutenant sunbathing and drinking, my uncle (Leo A. Dorsey) was walking the Japanese Death March on Bataan. After 3-1/2 years as a POW he was liberated. Although he had a family, and lived to his 80s, he never completely got over the trauma.
      Although we know it is happening, civilians seldom pause to think in that moment they are having fun, someone may be dying for that freedom.

    Michael Caine, the great actor of so many unforgettable roles was again in this movie, remarkable. His style and presence lets the viewers wonder what he will do next. He has some of the characteristics as actor Steve McQueen , they both have similar qualities that grip an audience into the story. The cast of this film, especially Cliff Robertson makes this a must watch.

    i was born near the end of this war & the hard times lingered long for our large family & many other smaller ones. we moved waaay out into the back hills & mostly lived off the land. my gosh, i can't begin to imagine how bad it was during & after the 1st World War! especially in the cities where there wasn't much land to live off & always someone to steal what ppl may have planted in their yards..... even now that is happening & the worst hasn't yet come along.

    As an X 95Bravo 10 (U.S. Army Military Police) I could relate to what they went through but I'm glad I never had to do anything like that. I'd have probably come back pretty messed up in the head if I had survived.
    Of course anything with Caine in it I'm going to Luv... no matter how good or bad.
    Loved him in Zulu, The Valley, Jigsaw, Eagle Has Landed, Fourth Protocol, one where he's older as a spy in St. Petersburg Roo-Land, Tinker Tailor Spy & in the last one were he gets his head blown up as the bad guy in 'Kingsmen'. Too many to name lol.
    ThnX 4-Upldng, always interested in war movies (all the way back to Crusaders and 900 A.D, 1200's, 1800's, 1920's --> 1990's).
    Have a nice safe day. 🌹

    Never thought I'd be watching this again after more than 50 years! I actually thought it was earlier -'68 or '69, so am now a little confused about where I saw it!
    What I do remember is the intense colour, particularly the deep jungle greens and the jarring contrast they made with the drier, yellower, portions amid the ruins and airfield. This colour intensity unfortunately has been lost in this particular upload. It would be great to see a restored version on BluRay.
    I had forgotten the title of the film also, which made online searches near impossible, so this really was a stroke of luck! Many thanks for sharing this upload.

      I was in this movie when the USS Coral Sea pulled into Olongapo for provisions in early 1969 and they needed extras. We were a bunch of sailors cheering on the two actors in that running scene at the end of the movie. We returned home from Vietnam in 1969. BTW, the village set burned down after that scene, and we turned into fire fighters.

    One of our friends was a CO during the Vietnam 🇻🇳 war. He joined the war but wouldn’t carry a gun. He was a medic, which actually was more dangerous than as if he had carried a gun. The medics wore special clothing and weren’t supposed to be fired on. However, sometimes that didn’t help and they were shot at anyway. When our friend got back he became one of our preachers and he’s still preaching. He was raised on a ranch so he knew all about riding and shooting. They always had some deer 🦌 meat 🥩 to eat. When he got back, he would never talk about the horrible things that he had seen. The terrible injuries that he had to fix up. However, I’m sure that it would have been harder for him to see the ones who were so badly wounded that there was nothing he could do to save their lives. However, now he’s preaching the gospel and saving lives a different way. With love ❤️.

      Henry Fonda enlisted into the military in 1942.
      Cliff Robertson was on a U.S. Merchant Marine when it was bombed, not sunk, off the coast of the Philippines on December 7, 1941.
      In other words, besides Michael Caine, others in the movie probably had first-hand experience in combat.
