An adaptation of the novella of the same title by Peter Bowman, the film depicts a landing by the United States Marine Corps on an unnamed Japanese-held Pacific island. The film and Bowman's novel were based on the author's own experiences in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific Campaign. It co-stars Rip Torn, Burr DeBenning, Jean Wallace, and Jaime Sánchez. The film was released by United Artists on August 3, 1967. At the 40th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Film Editing (Frank P. Keller). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
