Objective Burma
The three disc package collects together three movies featuring the Pacific campaign made in the aftermath of World War II.
BATTLE CRY: Non-stop action characterizes this World War II epic with an all-star cast. The heroic exploits of a Marine battalion are followed from basic training through the bloody invasion of Aaipan.
OBJECTIVE BURMA: A group of paratroopers are dropped into the Burmese jungle to wipe out a Japanese radar station. At first things seem to be going as planned but the team soon find themselves in a jungle full of Japanese soldiers. Stars Hollywood legend Errol Flynn.
OPERATION PACIFIC: World War II serves as the backdrop for this undersea tale, which dramatises the adventures and crises encountered by seamen aboard a naval submarine. At the centre of this story is the continuing love affair between a naval officer (John Wayne) and a nurse (Patricia Neal)--who are divorced from each other.

A rousing Second World War drama, with Errol Flynn parachuting into the Burmese jungle to destroy a Japanese radio station. It went unshown in Britain for seven years because it made no mention of the fact that the British played the major role in Burma. For some reason, action director Raoul Walsh stretches things out for over two hours — with John Wayne as star he could have mopped things up in an hour and a half. But, despite its frequent longueurs, it's exciting stuff, with Flynn bringing all his swashbuckling swagger to his role as the scourge of Southeast Asia.

If you can suspend reality and really believe that Errol Flynn won the war in Burma singlehandely then you will really enjoy this film. It is a typical 1950s action film and passed an evening. It is well acted and the effects are as good as can be expected for when it was made. It certainly shows no signs of the PC attitude that has become apparent in modern war films
