Jimmy Stewart was quite a remarkable human being both in the war and afterwards. One of the best actors in Hollywood of that day. None of these so-called actors today can hold a candle to him. Rest In Peace!
@@5809AUJG Both of his grandfathers fought in The Civil War. His dad fought in WW1 and The Spanish American War. He was awarded The Distinguished Service Cross and Air Medals by The U.S., and The Croix de Guerre by France. Awarded 2 Oscars. Stayed married to one wife for decades. Lived til 89. His life seems like a movie.
Amen, he was great. I loved when he was on Carson and would tell a story. Plus, some of his friends might just drop by the show - like the The Duke, Hope, Dean Martin, etc.
A lot of actors put their lives on hold to serve their country. Jimmy Stewart was one of them. Along with Ward Bond, Tyrone Power, Ernest Borgnine, Neville Brand, Burt Lancaster, Clark Garble and many many others including Audie Murphy who became an actor after WW2. They actually were in the war, not on the sidelines. You wouldn't see any of these selfish actors or actress of today's Hollywood enlisting to serve their country. These were brave men. We won't see men like them again.
I was on active duty at McGuire AFB and had the honor of exchanging a salute with General Stewart in dress blues. He was the real deal, we're in need of leaders like him today.
My step-father was a career Air Force sergeant stationed at McGuire back in 1966 to 1968. We lived on the road to New Egypt, NJ and I graduated from Allentown HS in 1968. I was so impressed with the Air Force that I joined the Marines a week after high school - lol. I agree that Jimmy Stewart was the real deal, he was one of the best actors of his generation and he was a career Air Force officer who served his country with distinction.
sadly in the past midwest values and work ethic stewart one time in the Philippines landed his plane after the field was bombed and he was put in the film end of it worked to improve the field being they were short handed. what a guy.
If memory serves, Stewart flew 25 missions in a B24 liberator over Europe during ww2. He also VERY QUIETLY, without fanfare, flew a few missions in a B52 during vietnam. He stayed in the USAF reserve for 25+ years retiring a Brigadier General. Stewart was the real deal.
Strategic air command is still one of my favorite movies. Yes Jimmy Stuart was the real deal. best line in the move was when his wife asked him where he went today and he answered "Alaska" She replied, well if you don't want to tell me.... And cant forget the Glenn Muller Story. Harry Morgan was in that with Jimmy as well.

I think this is the sole movie where we get to realistically glimpse what James Stewart had been through morally during his service, it shows especially in his quarrel scenes. Watching a war movie lacking exaggeration and ostensibility, yet enforcing dialogue and self-criticism is very refreshing. I'm glad that I accidentally came across with it, thanks for sharing.
My Dad was Navy during WW2 his ship evacuated wounded Marines from Tarawa. He helped pull a stretcher aboard and the wounded soldier, bandaged and bleeding from the abdomen, asked him for a cigarette, Dad lit one and gave it to the man.Then the Medics took him below. All these many years later Dad would say "I wonder if he made it, I didn't even ask his name." War experiences are painfully personal and unforgettable.
Yes, sometimes it's like that. And I solute your dad and my dad as for thier duty then. I was in the Submariner Service in the early 80's, (Pearl Harbor) and an up and coming Officer died in a traffic accident in Honolulu when I was stationed there. Boy it was terrible. Submarine crews are a 125 member family. But, you know, you go and just go. Sure, it wasn't war, but it still was a loss. All these years later, I think about that young officer, and what he was to our crew. And it reminded me now of what you said.

Bob Hope was a snot... My late Uncle was a Doctor in Cleveland after WW1 and treated the Hope family, often at no charge as they often couldn't afford it. I saw Hope in passing at a Five Star hotel I worked at, and asked if he remembered Doctor _______ , and he was less than cordial. Rude actually... However other celebs like Sid Ceasor, Mr. T(signed Autographs for 5 minutes), Melissa Anderson (Little House...), Joan Rivers, Burgess Meredith, Princess Grace (England), First Lady Nancy Reagan... were VERY friendly !
I met General Stewart in London, in the early 70's. He was reprising his stage role in "Harvey." Got to meet him both at the back stage door and then, just a few minutes later, his ride was stopped in traffic. My friend and I walked up, saluted (which he returned) and had an engaging conversation for the time it took the traffic to clear. He was polite, asked us about our military duties, base location, etc. Very gracious man.
Why would Jimmy Stewart have made this Movie for? His Commie Hollywood Agent must have Conned Him in to it. It makes Him, The U.S.Army, Army Officers and America All Look Like Fools. I'm guessing Jimmy Stewart was Ambushed on the Set of the Movie during Filming with changes to the Script that He didn't completely comprehend the ramification of till after the Movie was complete, Edited and He saw them all added up in the Film Screening. All the Poor Mismanagement, Terrible Military Strategies that are Highly Inconsiderate of any Collateral Damage and all from a Major? Hardly Possible in Real Life. That Character is Neither playing a Officer or a Gentleman. The Producers and Writer's of the this Movie are the Problem and must Hate America because they didn't Depict The Americans and U.S.Soldiers as the Great People and Hero's they are.
suprised to as its only Stewart movie I've never seen.more like tv movie.thin script.like most actors as they get older the better roles were not coming.lancaster did some bomb's late in career.
I don't understand the down votes for this film. It's a superior war film. Jimmy Stewart was a war veteran who flew nearly 20 dangerous bombing raids over Germany. It affected him deeply and for that reason he chose to never appear in WW2 themed movies ... He made the sole exception for this one. It was a good choice too.
Jimmy Stewart was the actor that I would loved to have met, but never did. We often imagine that one very special actor, personality, 'star' that would be so fascinating to meet - he was the one - Jimmy Stewart. Such a talented man. (Bev P)
Great Classic Movie!!! The year I was born, this was released... Jimmy Stewart & Harry Morgan also were good in the Glenn Miller Story.... Amazing movies that not only captured the action , but also explain the trials, loss's & reasons these things take place in war, and why they happened...
petercola - was a small movie, and very controversial for it's time in1960. Watch Samuel Fuller's masterpiece - The Steel Helmet (Also on You Tube) Research Samuel Fuller.

Oh we have many. Unfortunately they never get a whiff of a chance to serve in politics. I am life long Republican. It matters not who my POTUS is,as long as he wins. We are the only party who does not use people to get votes. Dems use you then drop you and go on to another fake I am here to help you. Don't believe it? Every state run by a Democrat is in shambles. Always has been. We want YOU to help our country,not what can YOU do to help me get into power. I truly pray GOP can hold on and win this next election. Trump with all his critics has done more for the American people than Obama in EIGHT YEARS. Everything that is offered free is not free. Nothing is free. We ask you to work for your country. That's all we ask. I am kind of amazed you put the word rare in your comment. The American people as a hold have given more blood sweat and tears to the world than any country or people on the planet. We don't want anything more than peace and calm and a day to go to work and lead a good life. Think thats what China, or the middle east wants ? If we could control our immigration closely in the next 20 years we could get this country humming again. God willing, the Wuhan virus leaves us all alone. Please remember something. A POTUS represents your party for 4 or 8 years. If a POTUS does good things for both parties,he is a pretty good POTUS. One thing never changes,your beliefs. The POTUS changes,but not your beliefs. It must be agonizing for good Democrat people to see their party swing so far to the Left. Biden actually declared if he will get ekected,it will be the farthest he has taken our country in its entire lifetime. We the people will not let that happen. The good people you speak of as rare will not let that happen. Remember this...a POTUS is not what makes this country. The good people make this country. Regardless of who is in office. THAT IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. No other country on earth operates like that. Democracy is getting hard to hold on to. Nothing is more precious to the American people. You better understand that. If you don't,,it will be gone. And it's too late. Don't concentrate who is in office,but what does he do for our country? Trump with all his issues,has done just what he told us he would do. THAT is unusual and rare.
Great movie. The major took on this job, as he was an engineer, and had a very naive mindset about it. Very cut and dry- which it turned out not to be- as war always is. Doing what was ordered, but having internal conflicts, only to be told "good job". And to not win the woman in the end, as she is educated and has her own set of standards. Both Americans and Chinese fighting the Japanese( who never appear)- allies with so many cultural conflicts.Great cast! Beautifully and thoughtfully written- great acting. All around incredible movie. I have never come across this one before. Many thanks.
@@richardbowers3647 That is interesting. Taking that in consideration, and then looking at the American viewpoint through the characters' actions, it makes sense. I really liked this movie, because so much of the movie was played beneath the action- the behaviours, words/ or not things being said...I told my daughter that one could wrote an extensive paper about this movie- I am glad to see that you saw that, too.
James Stewart. A great Scot, a proud piece of Scotia and he was proud of it. Every bit of his blood was a true Scot of and, a true blooded All patriot Loyal American. God rest his Soul.
I remember watching this movie in the past... Always liked Jimmy Stewart, I think I've seen all of his movies... Harry Morgan too! ✌️ Thanks for sharing... FIRE IN THE HOLE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My father was in the Royal Artillery in India and Burma about the same . Pity he didn't speak very much about his time there as it would have been an interesting memory. Passed away last year at 99
@Darrell McCall dear Darrell, I respect and bow myself in front of all the brave soldiers irrespective of any country , the comment posted by me is in response to the movie
Burly, coarse, raspy-voiced Mike Kellin (who plays "Prince") was often cast as a tough cop, gangster, or soldier, usually a corporal or sergeant, so it may be surprising to some that during his stint in the US Navy during World War II he was a Lieutenant Commander. He died real good in 1962's Hell Is For Heroes! Thanks for uploading!
Saw this film when I was six years old. My father served during the Korean War. I think the directions this great film scared the crap out of me back then. Tganks
This is an amazing metaphor for the American Experience in so many conflicts (especially Vietnam). What astonishes me is the film was made in the early 1960's predating much of the American involvement in Vietnam. Steward is at his best here as a reluctant Army Engineering Officer leading a demolition team. The journey is reminiscent on Conrad "Heart of Darkness"! Its interesting to see Harry Morgan in this supporting role as the First Sergeant. This appears to be something of a breakout role for a young Glenn Corbett as the sympathetic enlisted man trying to help refugees only to be done in by his good deeds.
Were you sitting on his shoulder? Most of them who served in that war, or ANY other, would have definitely felt fear...Their fear wouldn't petrify them, however, and their courage allowed them to do what needed to be done...A true hero, for sure, but without fear? You maybe have no fear but we mortals know both fear AND courage and we are NOT ashamed...
Wow. I never thought I'd so dislike any character played by Jimmy Stewart. He did figure it out in the last seconds, but too late. Lisa Lu was magnificent! Glenn Corbett is one of the most BEAUTIFUL men, my oh my! I loved the character he played here. All the other guys + the icon Harry Morgan...stellar cast and acting!!
In the immortal words of Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok, "That ammunition dump blowed up good!" "Yeah, it blowed up real good!!" RIP all you great actors we've enjoyed through our lifetimes.
This film was shot in Arizona near the mystery mountains. There is a museum that films history videos. One of the hosts was there during the filming of this and jogged my memory about this movie. It has been a long time since I have seen it.
Any Jimmy Stewart movie is a good movie, but this falls into the category of great movie, such a versatile and talented actor, and a great supporting cast in this one, good old “Col Sherman Potter” another great actor. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
I went to The Generals Show in London where his partner was HARVEY THE GIANT RABBIT and I sat in the second row with no one in front of me ! Great show and act from the General.RIP.💐
If you are ever near Indiana, Pennsylvania, northeast of Pittsburgh visit the Jimmy Stewart museum. Well worth any diversion. Indiana was Jimmy's hometown. A propeller from the plane in the Fight of the Phoenix movie is there too.
Moviemaking is a far shallower art these days. Today's films satisfy on only a surface level. Big explosions, ridiculous sex scenes and as much lurid as they can pack into a 20 minute script to turn it into a feature film. Old films gave us characters, plots and the true ART of cinema. They told stories that moved us, that shaped our thoughts and morals. They gave us heroes with prison stripes and generals with heavy consciences under bluff and bluster. They gave us fine actors and gifted directors. And no CGI.
I am quite familiar with the area in Arizona where the movie was filmed, some of the scenes down some dirt roads I happen to know. Until I saw this movie, I didn't know that Jimmy Stewart and Henry Morgan made a movie there--or any movie was made there for that matter. It is such a weird juxtaposition of realities in my world!
ONLY War Movie Jimmy Stewart EVER approved of, and Played a Real Combat Soldier in. SMALL Movie with BIG moral lessons about the use of Power. Tragic and Sad moments! First movie I've ever seen Jimmy Stewart Weeps! Watch and find out WHY!
I laughed , but admired Glenn Corbett’s ability when he spoke Chinese to the Chinese woman in the jeep (Lucy Lu). He actually did a decent job speaking Chinese ❤. He kept it simple but to the point. Great movie!
The Chinese were not communists during ww2. The allies never trusted the russians or communists during ww2. Anybody that knew General Patton will tell you that.
General Jimmy Stewart, USAF (Retired), was a great Patriot and a true American legend. You can have all the wimpy, liberal actors of today who care very little for the USA. I'll take Stewart, John Wayne, James Cagney and their generation over them any day!
My dad was a B-24 ball turret gunner in his group in England. Exhausted from a mission he neglected to salute a new Lt who assigned him to dog work. Jimmy came around with a football wanting to get a quick game going. Found out what my dad was up to and why. That Lt got to police the field for the entire game in the old man's place.
I saw the first few Missing Few Opening Minutes (before) that were cut due to Copyright Infringement on Music; and First Opening Scene says, '1944, an Airfield in China.'
Ah, maybe not the jeep, lol. Looks like an M38, not an MB or GPW. Have never seen this movie, so another first and already 64 y.o. :-) Take it back. After thinking about it, I caught it part way through several years ago. Great story! Great movie! Jimmy and Harry were in a couple war movies together.
Yes,these military vehicles were Korean War vehicles not WW2,these vehicles didnt even exist until around 1951,must have been a tight budget and thats all they could find,good movie except for that,but 95% of viewers wouldnt know the difference anyway!
My Dad was a demolition expert in WWII -- -- Although he would never speak about any of it. Told us no stories. I wish I could have known the stories but I think he felt that was part of his duty to his country -- to never speak of it.
my stepfather was a demolition expert also. 82nd Airborne WWII including Normandy. he told me a couple stories before he passed away in 2001. a real tough man considering what he went through. we were sitting at the kitchen table and my mother once asked him (while Michigan was going through a bad recession depression) if things could get any worse. he told her and me that, yes, things could get much much worse. I think he was thinking back to his wartime days.
My father was a young US Navy officer stationed at Pearl Harbor before and during the Japanese attack.. He had no war stories either.. He never spoke of it.
The m1 Grand a great weapon....I fired my 2 rifles until my shoulder was sore....the marines made great use of it in the pacific campaigns....I wish I hadn't sold them... 😣
Jimmy hated the war and never worked on another WW2 film. Sure as hell he knew how to fly that 25. He was an honest-to-God war hero. He'd disagree. Buck Compton told me, and I've read about other Vets, who said that the only heroes were the ones who didn't come home. God Bless them All.
I have never seen this film before and was NOT expecting to see James Stewart in the lead . As Noriko Otsuki has just said he is a quite remarkable human being . Also seeing Colonel Potter ( M.A.S.H) .
I've never seen this movie but I'll have to say one thing it has to be the most factual and realistic thing to come out of Hollywood not to mention it was made the year I was born
i watched these movies when i was a kid growing up in the 70's and I thought if they only knew how great everything's turned out they'd be happy. Then i realized they got promised a very different life when they got home, a better job, an education and 'a slice of the American dream.' They got stuck selling insurance, working for some factory, some corporation and they wound up in yet another chain of command. It's a wheel and you can't get off it without really understanding the dynamic of life itself.
yeah well black bird, they got the g.i. bill, which enabled tens of thousands of those vets to get a college degree. Or working for some factory for wages their dad's couldn't even imagine. Sure they just ended up in the great rat race, but thats what mattered back then. Provide, procreate, protect, then die. None of them even realized it was a rat race until they got their first heart attack at 45, and their teen aged kids despised them for slaving for "the man". America provided far more for it's ww2 vets than any other country in history. And the dynamic is flawed, and inescapable, so what was the alternative?
@@kingofbeers5673 you're pushing on an open door friend. I'm saying since the Revolutionary War vets have had to argue for their rights after the battle's long over in this country. In Rome 2k years ago centurions had to argue to get their land from a government that didn't care either. It's an uphill fight and it's a sucker's game to think it's all gravy when they get home.
@@blackbird5634 But that's my point bro. For the first and only time in history, (that I'm aware of) the ww2 vets did indeed come home to a grateful government. They were literally showered with money, education, and other incentives to reintegrate them back into society. Perhaps there were those in the federal government who remembered the shameful treatment of our ww1 vets. Or more likely, they realized that a huge number of well compensated vets equaled a huge block of sympathetic voters.
@@kingofbeers5673 we're in total agreement and this is a conversation i'd have enjoyed in person without this goddamn covid sh** with Prof. Chomsky, and yourself. be safe, and well, and strong, keep on keepin on.
Once I worked in an Apple orchard near Wenatchee with a vétéran from world war 2. He was kind in any possible way. I felt very small knowing hé fighted in France for freedom. Let’s fight ever for freedom because that makes us very tall. Not knowing for what is fight ,all of us let’s think twice or more before starting anything .Thank you America to be great again!

Morgan and Stewart. Never a doubt a worthwhile view. A lot of great actors in this. Vets and newcomers. 4 those of U 80s kids, guess who? Hint, he was also in some old western series. The acting, action and production on this is better than most 2day. No doubt when respect, pride, dignity was important. Not so much 2day. Nice job building a Chinese temple in the Mojave Desert.
My aunt peggys husband fought in ww2 in an outfit called Saco's raiders in china, teaching the chinese how to fight and blowing the hell out of the Japanese advance. Aunt peg said after the war he was home 6 months in Seattle before someone spotted him in a Ballard bar living it up and tipped her off! She went and got him, found out he was not the man who she married before he left to fight. A real wild man when he returned. She already had 7 kids by him so she dragged him home. They had 2 more together, trying to work it out. They lived out in Bellvue before they built the floating bridges. The kids said when peggy was working nights as a waitress in Seattle, he would sometimes get drunk, line the 9 kids up by a bonfire, walking back and fourth, screaming at them in Japanese, firing his .45 as he paced. Eventually he would pass out and they all ran into the woods to hide. Wow! Eventually this drove her to take the kids and leave him. They found him several years later in the burned out shell of this house in the deep woods. They told her he fells asleep drunk while smoking in bed! My aunt peg was quite the wonderful person. She has passed away and they just do not make them like her any more! I feel blessed to have gotten to know her!
That's a sad story. I expect all the men who saw action were changed forever but some couldn't hold it together at all and there were just expected to carry on as though nothing had happened. . My father was in Italy WW2 and became a workaholic /alcoholic. He had to keep his mind either fully occupied or dulled, because not a day went by he didn't think of it (the war).
My Grandfather served in the Army Air and helped fight World War Two , I've even got a Certificate of Appreciation signed by the Commander General , and a letter signed by President Harry Truman.
Scott George That’s something to treasure. Your granddad was a special man. My dad went to Canada in 1939 and joined the Canadian army to fight the Nazis. The US didn’t enter the war until two years later so many American patriots went to Canada because they were at war against the Axis nations. When I was in basic and a sergeant asked me about my dad he told me he was a hero.
Harry Morgan was 64 years old when he was born and never aged a day in his life.
Youre right-! Im 64 and watched in him different movies and TV for years and he always looked the same-! lol
He looked younger in Dragnet then MASH.

The Producers and Writer's of the this Movie are the Problem and must Hate America because they didn't Depict The Americans and U.S.Soldiers as the Great People and Hero's they are.

Love discovering these old films. I had never heard of this one, even though I thought I had seen all of Jimmy Stewarts movies.
suprised to as its only Stewart movie I've never seen.more like tv movie.thin script.like most actors as they get older the better roles were not coming.lancaster did some bomb's late in career.

Excellent movie
Well written
Well acted
Thanks for posting
James Best also played in this movie, just another great actor with no recognition.
Jimmy did ok.
I don't understand the down votes for this film. It's a superior war film. Jimmy Stewart was a war veteran who flew nearly 20 dangerous bombing raids over Germany. It affected him deeply and for that reason he chose to never appear in WW2 themed movies ... He made the sole exception for this one. It was a good choice too.
Unless you count Malaya (1949).
Can you tell us more about that one Peter? Is it worth trying to find?
Look in his wikipedia entry.
"I don't understand the down votes for this film."
Did you not notice the beginning is missing?
Andrew Francis just because he was a veteran doesn't mean that this is a good movie
James Best was a great actor too! 👏🏼😎
Jimmy Stewart was the actor that I would loved to have met, but never did. We often imagine that one very special actor, personality, 'star' that would be so fascinating to meet - he was the one - Jimmy Stewart. Such a talented man. (Bev P)
Arguably the best James Stewart movie ever made. He wasn’t acting.
This was a very good film, great cast.
Very good point that's going to go over the heads of most.
I have yet to see a bad James Stewart film.very likeable actor of the old school. A true gent love this film🎭🎥👍
I Enjoyed the Movie... I'm a Big Fan of Jimmy Stewart.... My Mother was too. Thanks again
This is a great movie thanks for posting it 🎥📺
I had the opportunity to work with General Stewart he was a first class gentleman.
Would have loved to meet him.
Wow that must have been a great yime
For men like him . . . I'd be proud to salute !
Did you ever get shot in the face?
The highest-ranking movie star of all.
Great Classic Movie!!! The year I was born, this was released... Jimmy Stewart & Harry Morgan also were good in the Glenn Miller Story.... Amazing movies that not only captured the action , but also explain the trials, loss's & reasons these things take place in war, and why they happened...
Which year was it

🙃☕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
Quite an unusual- and rare- American. Intelligent, a gifted leader, and humble. We need more like him. In fact, we need people like him today.
Oh we have many. Unfortunately they never get a whiff of a chance to serve in politics. I am life long Republican. It matters not who my POTUS is,as long as he wins. We are the only party who does not use people to get votes. Dems use you then drop you and go on to another fake I am here to help you. Don't believe it? Every state run by a Democrat is in shambles. Always has been. We want YOU to help our country,not what can YOU do to help me get into power. I truly pray GOP can hold on and win this next election. Trump with all his critics has done more for the American people than Obama in EIGHT YEARS. Everything that is offered free is not free. Nothing is free. We ask you to work for your country. That's all we ask. I am kind of amazed you put the word rare in your comment. The American people as a hold have given more blood sweat and tears to the world than any country or people on the planet. We don't want anything more than peace and calm and a day to go to work and lead a good life. Think thats what China, or the middle east wants ? If we could control our immigration closely in the next 20 years we could get this country humming again. God willing, the Wuhan virus leaves us all alone. Please remember something. A POTUS represents your party for 4 or 8 years. If a POTUS does good things for both parties,he is a pretty good POTUS. One thing never changes,your beliefs. The POTUS changes,but not your beliefs. It must be agonizing for good Democrat people to see their party swing so far to the Left. Biden actually declared if he will get ekected,it will be the farthest he has taken our country in its entire lifetime. We the people will not let that happen. The good people you speak of as rare will not let that happen. Remember this...a POTUS is not what makes this country. The good people make this country. Regardless of who is in office. THAT IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. No other country on earth operates like that. Democracy is getting hard to hold on to.
Nothing is more precious to the American people. You better understand that. If you don't,,it will be gone. And it's too late. Don't concentrate who is in office,but what does he do for our country? Trump with all his issues,has done just what he told us he would do. THAT is unusual and rare.
And he has doubts and moral Qualms - Carefully Listen to what he says to Collins just before the First Bridge is blown
😂😂😂😂😂 like the rest of the world has good leaders. Wtf?
I thought this movie was about James Stewart, not an opportunity to rant about politics.
Probably an insurrectionist at the Capitol.
What a sad sack!
Yeah, I'm talking about you C. Wilson. (Lunatic fringe)
James Stewart was a fine man, airmen, General and also a terrific actor who more a bit of human behavior.
Great movie. The major took on this job, as he was an engineer, and had a very naive mindset about it. Very cut and dry- which it turned out not to be- as war always is. Doing what was ordered, but having internal conflicts, only to be told "good job". And to not win the woman in the end, as she is educated and has her own set of standards. Both Americans and Chinese fighting the Japanese( who never appear)- allies with so many cultural conflicts.Great cast! Beautifully and thoughtfully written- great acting. All around incredible movie. I have never come across this one before. Many thanks.
Always thought that the Chinese girl represented china in this story. Just commenting.
@@richardbowers3647 That is interesting. Taking that in consideration, and then looking at the American viewpoint through the characters' actions, it makes sense. I really liked this movie, because so much of the movie was played beneath the action- the behaviours, words/ or not things being said...I told my daughter that one could wrote an extensive paper about this movie- I am glad to see that you saw that, too.
This Movie came out one year before I was born, 60-Years ago. First time I have watched it. Enjoyed very much.
1960 Theater Release.
James Stewart. A great Scot, a proud piece of Scotia and he was proud of it. Every bit of his blood was a true Scot of and, a true blooded All patriot Loyal American. God rest his Soul.
A truly great film with Henry Morgan. Col Potter, M. A. S. H., great filming and scenery, love those Jeeps and trucks.
Excellent movie, as usual Stewart was fabulous, good sporting cast.👍👍👍👍
Haven't seen this one in many years. Thanks for the post!
I remember watching this movie in the past...
Always liked Jimmy Stewart, I think I've seen all of his movies... Harry Morgan too!

FIRE IN THE HOLE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
A very interesting bit of history. My dad was Royal Signals providing radio comms in Burma, 1944-45. 🇬🇧
👌👍
My dad was US Signal Corp throughout Europe in WWII and later in Korea. Us signal guys gotta stick together.
My father was in the Royal Artillery in India and Burma about the same . Pity he didn't speak very much about his time there as it would have been an interesting memory. Passed away last year at 99
Great 👍
@Darrell McCall dear Darrell, I respect and bow myself in front of all the brave soldiers irrespective of any country , the comment posted by me is in response to the movie
Burly, coarse, raspy-voiced Mike Kellin (who plays "Prince") was often cast as a tough cop, gangster, or soldier, usually a corporal or sergeant, so it may be surprising to some that during his stint in the US Navy during World War II he was a Lieutenant Commander. He died real good in 1962's Hell Is For Heroes! Thanks for uploading!
Very good film. Great Stewart: a real hero and fantastic actor. Greetings from Brazil.
He's more than an actor.
He was a actual war hero in WW2!
Saw this film when I was six years old. My father served during the Korean War. I think the directions this great film scared the crap out of me back then. Tganks
James Stewart . . . always . . a hero, all generations !
Col.Potter, WW2 days, before Korea .
Harry Morgan, way before M.A.S.H.
Love these old shows! God bless UA-cam for giving us this.... funny watching these guys staring at the girl..like Ive never seen a woman before!
They never saw such a cute and sexy Asian like Lucy Lu. 😍
IF you research and see her publicity color shots in a bathing suit, you may agree.
This is an amazing metaphor for the American Experience in so many conflicts (especially Vietnam). What astonishes me is the film was made in the early 1960's predating much of the American involvement in Vietnam. Steward is at his best here as a reluctant Army Engineering Officer leading a demolition team. The journey is reminiscent on Conrad "Heart of Darkness"! Its interesting to see Harry Morgan in this supporting role as the First Sergeant. This appears to be something of a breakout role for a young Glenn Corbett as the sympathetic enlisted man trying to help refugees only to be done in by his good deeds.
stupid is dangerous and he paid the price.
Made in stifiling HOT Arizona 100+ 🏜️ Desert Heat in 1960.
Bill, was made in 1960, Based in the Book, By Theodore H. White, who WAS in WW2 China.
Leland = Trolling?
As one non-Chinese who has lived in China I had to laugh at Corbett’s Chinese! It wasn’t bad honestly! He spoke Mandarin!
MFR. Outstanding performance in James Stewart, Harry Morgan and Crew -- The A Team! Thank You!
Mr Stewart faced the enemy in the dangerous skies of ww2.. he faced the dangers without fear like a true hero.. .✌️
Were you sitting on his shoulder? Most of them who served in that war, or ANY other, would have definitely felt fear...Their fear wouldn't petrify them, however, and their courage allowed them to do what needed to be done...A true hero, for sure, but without fear? You maybe have no fear but we mortals know both fear AND courage and we are NOT ashamed...

I've yet to meet a combat veteran who said he had no fear.

Wow. I never thought I'd so dislike any character played by Jimmy Stewart. He did figure it out in the last seconds, but too late. Lisa Lu was magnificent!

This film was shot in Arizona near the mystery mountains. There is a museum that films history videos. One of the hosts was there during the filming of this and jogged my memory about this movie. It has been a long time since I have seen it.
James Best is the BEST no matter what part he plays!!!
James Stewart, my all time favorite actor.
Any Jimmy Stewart movie is a good movie, but this falls into the category of great movie, such a versatile and talented actor, and a great supporting cast in this one, good old “Col Sherman Potter” another great actor. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
I went to The Generals Show in London where his partner was HARVEY THE GIANT RABBIT and I sat in the second row with no one in front of me ! Great show and act from the General.RIP.💐
thank you so much for the upload! I am very grateful!
If you are ever near Indiana, Pennsylvania, northeast of Pittsburgh visit the Jimmy Stewart museum. Well worth any diversion. Indiana was Jimmy's hometown. A propeller from the plane in the Fight of the Phoenix movie is there too.
The Fight of the Phoenix ... an Engineer's movie ! My personal favourite movie of all time.
another great stewart film thank you
Always have been a huge Mike Kellin fan. Terrible shame he passed away at such an early age.
I always liked Mike Kellin too. I never see much if any mention of him.
Don't have actors like this anymore. No comparison.

Moviemaking is a far shallower art these days. Today's films satisfy on only a surface level. Big explosions, ridiculous sex scenes and as much lurid as they can pack into a 20 minute script to turn it into a feature film. Old films gave us characters, plots and the true ART of cinema. They told stories that moved us, that shaped our thoughts and morals. They gave us heroes with prison stripes and generals with heavy consciences under bluff and bluster. They gave us fine actors and gifted directors. And no CGI.
I am quite familiar with the area in Arizona where the movie was filmed, some of the scenes down some dirt roads I happen to know.
Until I saw this movie, I didn't know that Jimmy Stewart and Henry Morgan made a movie there--or any movie was made there for that matter. It is such a weird juxtaposition of realities in my world!
James Stewart Harry Morgan is one of my favorite actors!
....two of my favorite actore......

Morgan and Stewart make good cast. This movie makes a sincere realistic effort,entertaining
ONLY War Movie Jimmy Stewart EVER approved of, and Played a Real Combat Soldier in.
SMALL Movie with BIG moral lessons about the use of Power.
Tragic and Sad moments!
First movie I've ever seen Jimmy Stewart Weeps!
Watch and find out WHY!
This was a nice movie. Enjoyed every bit of it.
NOTHING is 'Nice' about war, especially when your own Men get Killed.
I loved this film. Harry Morgan was great in his part.
I laughed , but admired Glenn Corbett’s ability when he spoke Chinese to the Chinese woman in the jeep (Lucy Lu). He actually did a decent job speaking Chinese ❤. He kept it simple but to the point. Great movie!
Great film...thoroughly enjoyed it. Great to see The man who didn't shoot Liberty Vallance in action again.
Hello this is a great movie they don't make movies like this anymore sheer classic.cheers
Pretty good movie. I have also always liked Jimmy Stewart.

Thanks for this film!
Wera Wong, please share your thoughts about the Movie.
Strange how we fought the Germans and the Japnese in WWII And the Russians and the Chinese were our Allies, and now, the opposite is true.
No!!!! Our enemy is a monster born right here in the USA!! 1946..
The Chinese were not communists during ww2. The allies never trusted the russians or communists during ww2. Anybody that knew General Patton will tell you that.
General Jimmy Stewart, USAF (Retired), was a great Patriot and a true American legend. You can have all the wimpy, liberal actors of today who care very little for the USA. I'll take Stewart, John Wayne, James Cagney and their generation over them any day!
My dad was a B-24 ball turret gunner in his group in England. Exhausted from a mission he neglected to salute a new Lt who assigned him to dog work. Jimmy came around with a football wanting to get a quick game going. Found out what my dad was up to and why. That Lt got to police the field for the entire game in the old man's place.
OH, FUCK OFF

Everything in this movie is perfect .Watch it.
Ah, maybe not the jeep, lol. Looks like an M38, not an MB or GPW. Have never seen this movie, so another first and already 64 y.o. :-) Take it back. After thinking about it, I caught it part way through several years ago. Great story! Great movie! Jimmy and Harry were in a couple war movies together.
@@boblinda1738 That's Not the point!
Became a Glenn Corbett fan in early 60’s. Dang I’m old. Lol
Brian Salomon That’s right. With that Adam 12 guy. Lol
Wrong Jeep for WW2, but it’s a movie and Jimmy Stewart makes the movie great.
Always at Least 1 Critic.
Yes,these military vehicles were Korean War vehicles not WW2,these vehicles didnt even exist until around 1951,must have been a tight budget and thats all they could find,good movie except for that,but 95% of viewers wouldnt know the difference anyway!
My Dad was a demolition expert in WWII -- -- Although he would never speak about any of it. Told us no stories.
I wish I could have known the stories but I think he felt that was part of his duty to his country -- to never speak of it.
my stepfather was a demolition expert also. 82nd Airborne WWII including Normandy. he told me a couple stories before he passed away in 2001. a real tough man considering what he went through. we were sitting at the kitchen table and my mother once asked him (while Michigan was going through a bad recession depression) if things could get any worse. he told her and me that, yes, things could get much much worse. I think he was thinking back to his wartime days.
My father was a young US Navy officer stationed at Pearl Harbor before and during the Japanese attack.. He had no war stories either.. He never spoke of it.
Thanks for a great movie.
Bless the M1 Garand, my assigned weapon in the USMC.
And mine in the US Army.
When I was 13 my father gifted me with the experience of M1 thumb
its not my taste
but the M1 is a beast and must be respected as a tool of war.
The m1 Grand a great weapon....I fired my 2 rifles until my shoulder was sore....the marines made great use of it in the pacific campaigns....I wish I hadn't sold them...
😣
R. Lee Ermey also loved the M-1 Garrand.
R.I.P. USMC R. Lee Ermey we miss you!
Jimmy hated the war and never worked on another WW2 film. Sure as hell he knew how to fly that 25. He was an honest-to-God war hero. He'd disagree. Buck Compton told me, and I've read about other Vets, who said that the only heroes were the ones who didn't come home. God Bless them All.
I have never seen this film before and was NOT expecting to see James Stewart in the lead . As Noriko Otsuki has just said he is a quite remarkable human being . Also seeing Colonel Potter ( M.A.S.H) .
Not to mention James Best. One of those character actors that was in so many movies yet hardly noticed.
Great movie. Enjoyed.

I've never seen this movie but I'll have to say one thing it has to be the most factual and realistic thing to come out of Hollywood not to mention it was made the year I was born
i watched these movies when i was a kid growing up in the 70's and I thought if they only knew how great everything's turned out they'd be happy. Then i realized they got promised a very different life when they got home, a better job, an education and 'a slice of the American dream.' They got stuck selling insurance, working for some factory, some corporation and they wound up in yet another chain of command.
It's a wheel and you can't get off it without really understanding the dynamic of life itself.
yeah well black bird, they got the g.i. bill, which enabled tens of thousands of those vets to get a college degree. Or working for some factory for wages their dad's couldn't even imagine. Sure they just ended up in the great rat race, but thats what mattered back then. Provide, procreate, protect, then die. None of them even realized it was a rat race until they got their first heart attack at 45, and their teen aged kids despised them for slaving for "the man". America provided far more for it's ww2 vets than any other country in history. And the dynamic is flawed, and inescapable, so what was the alternative?
@@kingofbeers5673 you're pushing on an open door friend. I'm saying since the Revolutionary War vets have had to argue for their rights after the battle's long over in this country. In Rome 2k years ago centurions had to argue to get their land from a government that didn't care either. It's an uphill fight and it's a sucker's game to think it's all gravy when they get home.
@@blackbird5634 But that's my point bro. For the first and only time in history, (that I'm aware of) the ww2 vets did indeed come home to a grateful government. They were literally showered with money, education, and other incentives to reintegrate them back into society. Perhaps there were those in the federal government who remembered the shameful treatment of our ww1 vets. Or more likely, they realized that a huge number of well compensated vets equaled a huge block of sympathetic voters.

Morgan and Stewart. Never a doubt a worthwhile view. A lot of great actors in this. Vets and newcomers. 4 those of U 80s kids, guess who? Hint, he was also in some old western series. The acting, action and production on this is better than most 2day. No doubt when respect, pride, dignity was important. Not so much 2day. Nice job building a Chinese temple in the Mojave Desert.
Jimmys the real deal as regards world war two .
My aunt peggys husband fought in ww2 in an outfit called Saco's raiders in china, teaching the chinese how to fight and blowing the hell out of the Japanese advance. Aunt peg said after the war he was home 6 months in Seattle before someone spotted him in a Ballard bar living it up and tipped her off! She went and got him, found out he was not the man who she married before he left to fight. A real wild man when he returned. She already had 7 kids by him so she dragged him home. They had 2 more together, trying to work it out. They lived out in Bellvue before they built the floating bridges. The kids said when peggy was working nights as a waitress in Seattle, he would sometimes get drunk, line the 9 kids up by a bonfire, walking back and fourth, screaming at them in Japanese, firing his .45 as he paced. Eventually he would pass out and they all ran into the woods to hide. Wow! Eventually this drove her to take the kids and leave him. They found him several years later in the burned out shell of this house in the deep woods. They told her he fells asleep drunk while smoking in bed! My aunt peg was quite the wonderful person. She has passed away and they just do not make them like her any more! I feel blessed to have gotten to know her!
That's a sad story. I expect all the men who saw action were changed forever but some couldn't hold it together at all and there were just expected to carry on as though nothing had happened. . My father was in Italy WW2 and became a workaholic /alcoholic. He had to keep his mind either fully occupied or dulled, because not a day went by he didn't think of it (the war).
