Salty performances elevate this World War II action film from director John Sturges. Artfully led by a contingent of Allied forces operatives -- including Capt. Tom Reynolds (Frank Sinatra) -- Burmese guerilla fighters engage in a string of arduous battles against encroaching Japanese soldiers. Among the star-studded cast are Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Gina Lollobrigida, Peter Lawford, Brian Donlevy and Dean Jones.
