Review of Hell in the Pacific (1968) by Grant S — 14 Jul 2012
Very interesting movie, with a great moral message. Builds slowly, if anything to show the gap that has to be bridged between the two characters. Ultimately they discover that peace and co-operation are more constructive than war and strife - surely a code to live by.
Solid direction by John Boorman, to go with the excellent plot.
Good performances by Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune, in one of the smallest casts ever (though there have been movies with a cast of one).
