A laconic war movie shot in The Philippines and set there twenty years earlier (not that you'd know it from female lead Tisa Chang's sixties blouse and slacks (the latter tight enough for it to be obvious she's not wearing forties underwear).
A year earlier it would've been in black & white, but local cameraman Emmanuel Rojas renders the local vegetation incongruously pretty in glossy De Luxe Color; although it does enables the blood to be vividly red.
Most of the cast are a terse, taciturn bunch, especially ultra-tough commanding officer Hugh O'Brian; the emotion coming from Bob's boy Jim Mitchum, who also provides the film's narration.
