Trent K @RT93447243 Jun 10, 2023 Great older movie if you love history. It has some fictional characters and elements but the truth is true. The Japanese were ruthless to the the Philippine people and worse to the American soldiers during the Batan death march. We must remember our history or we are doomed to repeat it.

What makes the movie interesting is that Wayne and the Americans are not front and center the whole picture. This is really told from the Filipino point of view, although not in a historically accurate sense (Anthony Quinn's character, the supposed grandson of Philippine national hero Andres Bonifacio, never existed; Bonifacio never fought the Americans as intimated in the movie, he died in 1897).

John Wayne is the man See more Mar 19, 2018 An overly tough, and surprisingly serious, (all be it a little too much so), addition to John Wayne's list of remarkable War classics. See more Nov 12, 2014 Engaging and sometimes moving, but it has lost some of its effect nowadays. 57/100 See more May 25, 2014 The noir cinematography of Nicholas Musuraca (The Spiral Staircase, Cat People, Out of the Past) was an unexpected treat. His masterful use of light and shadow redeems a sappy script. See more Read all reviews
