TAGLINE: 4 Fighting Men and a Girl Trapped in 1,000 Miles of Green Hell!
Four Seabees land on "Gizo Island" in 1943 in order to survey it for an airstrip to be built for the U.S. during the war against the Japanese. On the island is a contingent of Japanese soldiers bored with their occupation. Eventually both sides clash.
My grandfather fought in the Pacific as black Sargent alongside white,Asian natives,Jews,Gypsies etc they fought with respect he said for each man life together war is total destruction of life and civilization death is not racist it takes one and all so their no white privalage to die for bravery and Coward ness runs in every color of mankind I being retired sailor of united states navy seen it in all colors!!!
AMEN
James Edwards a real ww2 1st Lieutenant, great actor, writer and director. Gone too soon. My salute Sir.
Ziva Rodann, stunning Israeli actress. What a BABYDOLL!! She is now 90 and still living as of 06-05-2021.
music/drums in opening scenes are perfect for the setting they are in
Great movie. Love to see more of WW2 movies. Watching from Fiji 🇫🇯. Thanks for posting.❤❤❤❤
I thought this movie was so good. Great acting. Good script. Short. Action packed. The acting made this because essentially, it must have been low budget with the limited number of roles all on the island. And just an hour. But really, really well done!
new one for me(??),, only at 1:53 and if i was 10yrs old,, i would be diving over the couch to get my helmet and web belt !!! Great raft scene !!!! Don't know where it's going but this is how i wanted my war movies to look... 1959 was a good year for movies, hope it doesn't turn to cheese and hav ta turn the subtitles on and the sound down..... Thanks for posting this
The black actor James Edwards was actually a 1st Lieutenant during WW2, he was in the south pacific then was later involved in a bad car accident during the war in the states. Died later in 1970 at age 51 from a heart attack.
What war?.😊
his portrayal of this man reminds me of my late dad....who was one of the first Green Berets.
yes, he was a great actor! he always played strong Black characters!
James Edwards died on Sunday, January 4, 1970, in San Diego, CA. He was working on a film script in his wife' Family house in San Diego when he complained of chest pains. He was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital, where he died.

Out numbered so they talk loudly and start a firefight with a superior force. They shoot 50 lbs of.45 ammo and only kill Three guys.

Great movie👌👍🥰💖🌺
Guess the budget didn't allow for more than one log. They must have hopped over the same log 25 times.
Sorry I only counted 24 lol😊
Thnx for the popcorn movie
I appreciate all of the B&W oldies that Rob W puts out. This one looked promising but it's not formatted for full screen viewing aka Shrunken Vision.
Noting wrong with it at all visually. A very good tense drama.
Nor did it fit well on my 1961 Zenith round TV.

Not a bad little old low-budget B movie, from a time when there were double features at the cinema...
I lived in Honiara in the Solomon islands. Never made it to gizo. Id be worried about crocs in the creeks there.
Wow, those GI's weapons don't ever run out if ammo...... And, anyone notice that the pig they were roasting disappeared after the attack????
that was dinner or lunch for the crew on set,its the way of it
Dam , you make good observations
It ran off.
George are it, he's hungry.
Parasitic infection caused the hog to explode off camera... And the movie can only be so long, hence the weapons' reloading shots end up on the cutting room floor.
Great movie. Thanks for you’re hard work.😊
Thanks for watching!
They were walkin in the open like goin to the mall...
Interesante filme del género bélico con un final un tanto dulce amargo. Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
Saludos de otro venezolano.
My grandfather fought in south pacific as young black Sargent he fought along side whites, Asians,Jews all men fighting to Survive and come home they had each other back no matter color ..war is not white privalage or black or any color or culture it the total destruction of life death doesn't care about color race or rank!!?
Bittersweet? Watch, THE MOUNTAIN ROAD(1960). Based on The Book By China Journalist, Theodore H. White's Account Of a Very Small US Army Demolition Unit In WW2 China. Starring Jimmy Stewart And Lisa Lu.
I Love pictures of WW2, not documentary !!!
Oh those poor Japanese soldiers. All those hours drilling with knives to become experts and all they could muster when pressed was a weak thrust off line.
Thank you 🤩🤩💖
You’re welcome 😊
Good movie
very nice

Great movie. Classic!
There were NO INTEGRATED US troops until 1948. This movie is a joke. A lie.
I thought black men were relegated to non combat roles in WWII. I read somewhere that they drove trucks, loaded ships - manual labour - but almost never carried a rifle. Anyway, this was a good film. It reminded me of episodes of _Combat_ It was very short for a movie.
Some were artillery, there were some captured by the Waffen SS in Europe and brutally tortured and murdered. There is a memorial to them. I think Mark Felton did a video on it.
War is hell on all living creatures. Good movie.
Everybody's got a Thompson, but no one's carrying ammunition?
It's in their pockets.
Not bad, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
The American commandos seemed to have brought an infinite supply of ammunition with them ! The dialogue of the Japanese soldiers is a little strange. They're speaking as if they're students in a Japanese language school ! Very formal and respectful . Not like ordinary, uneducated soldiers.
I hope that third-chair snare drummer made enough off this flick to retire.
Never saw this before. Good flick.
Two Words: JAMES EDWARDS!
Well done movie.
Great movie 😊
❤
👍
Can you spot the magic disappearing and reappearing bottle?
This my kind of mission.
AH! One of these movies where they never run out of ammo. With Thompsons, no less. (I am told most SeaBees carried M-1 carbines in WWII). Seabees as infantry scouts? Not usually. Talking out loud? RUNNING in the jungle? Walking on paths? Leaving a wounded man behind? I realize this is 1959 but their military advisor was definitely fulla shit. Nevertheless, if you incorporate a willing suspension of disbelief, this is a pretty good movie. 19:50 Hiding in the water that long runs a high threat of leeches and candiru'. And somehow those "clean" jungle streams are always full of E coli, especially when downstream from a village. 21:42 reminds me of the time a FNG grabbed the wrong leaf for TP. Chiggers! He was mission compromised. 25:29 threw his med packet away. Littering on a covert op will get you seriously killed or wounded. 29:01 loitering on rear security with a pucker factor of at least 4? 😂😂🤣😀😃🤣 39:57 Why isn't he making his way back to the boat, as ordered? EXCELLENT ENDING!
51’ : Thompson cal•45...portée utile, environ 50 mètres.
Where are their extra mags for the Thompsons? I assume the guns are the Hollywood types that never need to be reloaded.
Its a movie, not a documentary
Standard ammo belts with pouches for 10 20-round clips for the Tommy guns would be too heavy and cumbersome for the actors to carry around all day.
Your newest Subscriber-for-Life thanks you for your channel; keep these little potboilers and their earnest casts and crews alive!
Thanks for subbing
Great War Picture. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
They sing that the netting on the helmets was for camouflage and Americans almost never ever ever did it
Oh yes that movie make us remembered all sacrifices of our living world war 2 heroes even the dead
Although very clear that its is a for money only
That was foul they left George behind but at least he hooked up with a beauty 🤣🤣🤣
Leave no man behind except....
yes they left george they are coward, supposed to help him they only keep on running, bad ending, not satisfied me.
John lupton use the palwa and leaves in the middle in jungles warfare.. strong winds
Might be a good movie but the music ruins it 😔 Cannot watch
I like WWII movies. One thing I noticed about many of them is that they show a lot of GIs bitching about just anything and without discipline. This is very far from the truth. They were well trained and the proof is we won and the other side lost. We had the less casualties and the enemy had more.
4:57 Australian kookaburra (bird) in the tropical Pacific lol
They get around, they were in Distant Drums set in the Seminole War in Florida lol
Why didn't they retrieve ammon weapons from Japanese..my man was smart enough to get map..huaaa!!!!
Pretty good movie, but to be a Recon operation they sure are a talkative, noisy bunch.
C’est une colonie de vacances...! Des soldats, ça ? !
So, straight from the start the storyline lets the film down, they knew that there were Japanese on the island, so why the hell did they only send a four man recon team, yes they are Seabees who are combat soldiers as well as engineers, but four is absolutely no use, even though the team are obviously super Seabees, their first contact with the Japanese should have made them realise their mission was blown and they were never going to be able to survey the island, let alone get them off of the island alive. Did they actually have a military advisor or was it a “we can make it up as we go along” type of movie.
Yes that's how it was written in the script
agreed with what you said but then it wouldn't be a movie.
it's not a documentary
I thought it was a good movie. But, I wasn't thinking in logistics. It seemed like there were not many Japanese on the island. From the dialogue, I got that the island was unimportant with just a few Japanese soldiers. So, perhaps that was implied as known from the beginning... when the soldiers said the goal was to hide from the Japanese or run. Not engage. I accepted it as just part of the script - imaginary plot. But I thought that seals went in in a small group and did stealth operations. But tried to finish if observed.
Sorry Boys and Girls, but the Army was segregated during WWII. There was no black guy in a white infantry unit, especially in any elite commando unit.
True... In the Navy ...they'll be Cooks + Servers.
Yes there was. It was not common, but in elite commando outfits black people was very respected
Totally equal opportunity ✅
They even segregated the blood used until a black Doctor convinced the powers to be that many white soldiers would die otherwise
Apparently you didn't watch the dirty dozen , haha
50:40) The pig has gone AWOL.
The Navy was very segregated during WW2, there would be no mixed Black & White Seabee unit.
Dear Lad , hello. Could you please show us To Hell and Back the true story of Audie Murphy. I can't find it anywhere. Thank you very much. 👵
It's now available in a beautiful Blu-ray edition! www.amazon.com/Hell-Back-Audie-Murphy/dp/B09FTKW7QC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=30MYF9ZUM0YFH&keywords=to+hell+and+back&qid=1666397088&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjgyIiwicXNhIjoiMi41MiIsInFzcCI6IjMuNDMifQ%3D%3D&s=movies-tv&sprefix=to+hell%2Cmovies-tv%2C116&sr=1-1

Where I have been going since a small boy - now 75 - is a location where To Hell And Back was filmed in Washington State.
Music is a bit silly.
Screen is so small
Great movie. The black guy should’ve crawled his butt back to the raft, but he’s trying to hook up with the girl.lol
Just your imagination, there were no black guys. The Army was not integrated in WWII..... Obviously, this is a truck driver with the Red Ball Express, moved to the Pacific.
@@quitman2050 We can’t even enjoy the movie without this fool… It’s a movie.
@@jerrykelley9266 no the comments are not part of the movie.
Fren i m good no, 1 chombat it is the bhest
Stop with the incessant snare drum …
Them are ammo pouchs there carring
Should I say stick magazine pouches
Come back
Ah, before Vietnam.....
No, you have it wrong, after this war, there was Korea 1950- 1953. Then Vietnam . 1964-1973.

Tell me that the Japanese Officer at 19:19 isn't wearing a hearing aid on his left ear!
Pardon say again !- AH so ? o
I think it’s a Sony…maybe Hitachi.

About 50% of this movie was very good, interesting, exciting. 50% was ridiculous. The Japanese were portrayed as incompetent baffoons which after a while made me think they couldn't do anything right. Not only was that historically inaccurate, but from a film viewer perspective, it took all the tension out of the film and eventually took me out of the film completely. Still, not terrible and worth a watch.
Dieser Kriegsfilm wäre schön wenn dieser in deutscher Sprache wäre
A real stinker
We haven't seen any of your movies! Jack off!
Acting sucked ...they wrong for having the black guy talk like a 3rd grader
yes, remember the Black Seabee's
Give me a break, he played a great part.
"They wrong?" You sound like a third grader.
I thought he was injured. I thought that he was so injured, that it affected his level of consciousness. But, if they were pretending that he was stupid, I thought he was the most intelligent. He took out like 9 of the Japanese at one time. Was massively injured, left to his own devices, and came through the hero. [I was disappointed that his map that he got was dismissed. I thought that was wrong. There was value in that map for any future skirmishes on that island.]
Wishpdople k ew hou to keep there mouths shut I would rather watch it and see for my self what its.about not loose interest in it couse of telling me every thing
