Movies Like Yesterday's Enemy
1959·95 min·Dir. Val Guest·★ 7.1
WarDrama
Set during the Burma Campaign of World War 2, this is the story of courage and endurance of the soldiers struggling at close quarters against the enemy. The film examines the moral dilemmas ordinary men face during war, when the definitions of acceptable military action and insupportable brutality become blurred and distorted.
