Another example of the tenacity, courage, and faith that so many during those WW2 days endured. And even better, it's true. Should make all of us thankful for their bravery. Humbling !!
An excellent film about life under foreign occupation in an inhumane regime who clearly were intent on not following the Geneva convention. Great performance by Claudette Colbert and strong support from the rest of the cast. All three going home was remarkable as the death rates in these camps was extremely high. With the decline in morals and values in contemporary society if this were ever to happen again it would look very different as with the fall in family values how many would have someone to greet them before heading off across the water to a new camp or at the gates?
A POWERFUL MOVIE!! Do NOT watch if you have anything else traumatic going on in your life at the time!! I can't imagine HOW the soldiers & wives who actually lived these events endured. I think we are much softer these days. The Japanese Colonel's reaction to the children (near the end) was SO telling!! Too often, we forget there was suffering on both sides!! Tyranny must NOT prevail. 💙💙💙💙
This story looks like a walk in the park to Darlene Deibler Rose story. She was in Papua New Guinea during WW2 Japanese invasion. I cried through almost her whole recollection of the horrors they faced. I am so happy that Zane’s Newton Keith was able to make it home with her family, I can’t didn’t begin to imagine the trauma they faced! There was brutality at all camps but some were drastically worse. I do t know if I could have survived what these people did, and come out sane! War is evil
So you "cried" huh? I BET! Did you "cry" because of man's inhumanity his fellow man...or did you do it because of ...this time the "shoe was on the other foot"? Um, you ever been to a lynching of a black person by Whites? Esp. The ones in a deep south? Sometimes they cut the testicles off of the black male before they burn him alive with tar oil. I heard that the Whites enjoyed watching all that, their wives and children did with their picnic baskets. See point is the Japanese (esp. The Japanese officers) knew about all that, about how badly Blacks (along with Indians, and Chinese) had beem maltreated in a white ruled America and other places where White People come first. So naturally, the Japanese said "OK, well we got something for you all for that, and lets see how well you Whites stand up to your own medicine! But we 'japs' as you all like to call us, will give it to you all in double and triple doses! Then we'll see how "tough and superior" you all will stay. The Japanese officers also knew about the millions of Africans that died packed into massive slave ships like sardines in the trans Atlantic slave trade, controlled by Whites. This is part of the reason why the Japanese concentration camps set up for captured Whites all throughout "the Southern Resource Areas" were esp. tough places to be detained in if you were white. And the Japanese also knew about all the despicable jokes of Whites used to make fun of Black People for "how ugly and inferior" Blacks were to them. So the Japanese says ok well let's see how all you Whites we capture will stand up to Us being the Superiors and while you all THIS time are the (N word).

@patfrick8527 - That scene was a manifestation of the grief he felt over the loss of his family - particularly his children!! All through this movie, he (the "Colonel") is depicted as the exception - a tender-hearted, decent, educated family man, who PERSONALLY was not an enemy of the U.S., (a country where he had once lived & been educated)!! A very intense & conflicting dichotomy existed within this movie!!
A very good movie. Memoirs like this put to screen are important because the brutality and cruelty of Japanese during WW II is always always been glossed over. Political correctness sees to it never again will we see the truth of stories like this in a Hollywood movie.
Btw how about the brutality against the black people who are citizens of your country never mind the brutality done by another country in wartime. Also the treatment of native Indians, too. Clean up your own country!!!
Really wasn't a smart move by staying there, they should have left and taken their son to safety, the husband was supposed to be British but he wasn't in the movie.
Three came home ?!?! I don't know what's the story of this movie !suppose its about three attackers or robbers or something !who knows ?!?! Hai my dear class mates ! Are you celebrating our festival with joy?!?; me too!!! Enjoy my dears ! Take care during crackers !!! 👸 🎁 🍰
It's a brutal world war II film, Helen. It's a true story, autobiographical. It's about how the Japanese treated women POWs. I guess there were a number of captured females but only three survived. Which three? You will have to watch to find out. 😧

This is a very good movie with the talented actress Claudette Colbert. Life is precious as well as freedom. Thank you CCC!
This is a groundbreaking and bold film. Claudette but especially Sessue are amazing!
This is a great movie, thanks. Have seen it several times over the years. Very gripping story of history.
Thanks for posting!!!
Many years since I have seen this one. Looking forward to viewing again.

Good movie. Thank you
Must have been awful leaving your loved ones behind.
It was kind of the general to take them to his house and feed them and let them have flowers to take back to the camp.

Good morning Clare 👋 🙏 hope you are feeling better 😊 you're in my prayers 🙏 ❤️ take care 🤗.
The British took over and her husband never came back.
The American servicemen came to get their families and bring them back to America.
Really wasn't a smart move by staying there, they should have left and taken their son to safety, the husband was supposed to be British but he wasn't in the movie.
Harry made it ! Yippee!
Betty was mean but now is nice.

The nice generals family died in Heroshima.That was awful the bomb that was dropped there.
