I saw this movie when I was fairly young and the scenes never left my memory. I could not get over the way the actors looked as if they had just been rescued from real Japanese POW camps. How could they get actors so skinny to play the parts? I thought they were real prisoners.
Although shot in black and white the realism is terrifying and not for the faint hearted.
It was so intense it's no wonder the politically correct brigade buried it but it was a true story and true to life in it's portrayal.
I doubt it could be remade as good but it would be good if they could. One of the most moving movies I have ever seen. Can anyone get me a copy?
